Follow the path of Dao from infancy Chapter 1815 Chapter 474: Outburst (Part 2)
Previously on Follow the path of Dao from infancy...
Everyone lifted their gazes, spotting a horrifying clash erupting far away. An enormous Ancestor Dragon clashed wildly amid the chaos with a colossal sinister phantom. Flames of devastating Divine Fire burst from one adversary, able to obliterate endless paths, whereas the other gripped a gigantic dark mallet buzzing with lightning.
"Is that a clash in the Quasi-Emperor Realm?"
Li Hao's eyes narrowed a bit. That Ancestor Dragon's form echoed Long Qingge's, yet it appeared bulkier, more mature, radiating an ancient, untamed might.
Within Dragon Gate City, just the City Lord holds the Quasi-Emperor Realm!
Li Hao grasped right away why this warzone earned the name graveyard of prodigies. Regardless of your supreme gifts or unmatched techniques, against such perfected forces, you'd merely be a tiny novice insect.
The might surging in that arena could unleash a dreadful blow on an Immortal King, twisting the realm into an Exotic one, utterly beyond reach.
"The City Lord has stepped in himself!"
Long Ying and the rest blanched at the sight. This fight raged so fiercely that even the City Lord joined the front lines personally!
Long Ying peered into the empty sky before him, where the Ancient Demons' barriers stayed thick and unyielding, appearing without end.
His spirits dropped as the battle's severity hit him.
"All of you, brace for an extended fight!"
Long Ying sent the urgent command with gravity. The troops' leaders caught on fast, their moods darkening as they held back some power, avoiding an all-out push.
Three Yan Ghost Arrays twisted together in deadlock. Across other spots on the field, additional Yan Ghost Arrays sprang up. Beyond that loomed the far scarier Ghost Witch Formation, slithering like a wrathful shade, quick and nimble, assembled from over a million Ancient Demons. Within it, tens of thousands reached the Immortal Monarch Realm, plus more than a hundred Immortal Kings anchoring the setup, unleashing immense dread.
The Earth Armor Department's elite shielded the Ghost Witch Formation, leaving those like Li Hao in the Mystic Armor Department helpless before its strikes.
While Li Hao and his allies battled hard, a piercing ray sliced through the fray all at once, slamming into the second Barrier.
The Barrier trembled, fissures appearing across it.
Inside the Barrier, Qingxuan's face twisted in shock at the view. Glancing toward the rear of the Ancient Demon ranks, he spotted a vast, shadowy bulk rising, radiating a chilling presence.
His features shifted; the struck point lined up exactly with the teleportation array's location in the second Barrier.
The City Lord's prior guess looked spot on!
Bang! Bang!
Right then, two fresh blasts rocketed out, pounding the Barrier and ripping open a breach.
At the same time, from the Ancient Demons battling close to the Barrier, two Ghost Witch Formations lunged straight for the teleportation array.
As they surged ahead, surrounding Ancient Demon groups exploded into action, paving their path clear.
Witnessing this, Qingxuan kept his composure icy and steady, aware they'd anticipated it, stationing the Heavenly Armor Department there beforehand.
As the pair of Ghost Witch Formations rushed in, twin dragon cries boomed near the teleportation array out of nowhere. A duo of huge Eight-cornered Ancestor Dragons burst forth, crowned with grand horns and eight talons, like primal beasts from savage eras. They lashed out with claws, shredding the two Ghost Witch Formations in a flash!
The two Ghost Witch Formations got slammed down, their structures crumbling as hordes of Ancient Demons dispersed like startled insects, scattering every which way.
Before they escaped too far, a fearsome shape rose from the Ancient Demons, bound in fetters and clutching a shadowy Demon Sword, unleashing an Execution Ghost Formation superior to the Ghost Witch Formation!
The shadowy Demon Sword's killing intent surged wildly, releasing a strange vibe that rattled the Divine Soul, set on dismantling the two Eight-cornered Ancestor Dragons.
The two Eight-cornered Ancestor Dragons let out deep growls and dove into combat against the Execution Ghost Formation.
With a crash.
Over on Li Hao's front, a dark colossal phantom rammed the dragon's tail, smashing it earthward, forcing blood to spray from the many Dragon-cutting Army and Kun Dragon Army warriors inside the array.
Li Hao's complexion drained briefly but steadied soon after. His gaze sharpened. Should he activate Carving Arts of the Time as a Knife to climb to the Third Level of the Immortal King Realm, the life force burned would skyrocket ten times to five thousand years!
That would spike his fighting strength dozens of times beyond his current level.
Yet five thousand years of lifespan meant a heavy toll for him.
Lacking Extreme Dao Chaos or igniting True God Blood, he just scraped by with might akin to the Fourth Level of the Immortal King Realm. Though he could tussle with the dark colossal phantom by whipping the dragon's tail around, the drawn-out brawl left him drained.
While Li Hao weighed unleashing Carving Arts or torching True God Blood, he saw nearby how the dragon's underbelly, handled by Liuli and Wuyue, had torn wide. The Dragon Array fell apart, and the forces within got yanked out like vital parts, pulverized by the dark colossal phantom.
Stripped of the array's safeguard, plenty of True Immortals and Immortal Lords couldn't last a breath exposed. The fight's shockwaves alone knocked them out cold.
"Who can tell how long this war drags on..."
Li Hao stared afar, his eyes flashing. Detonating too soon might force him to pull out of the Six Harmonies Dragon Scale Array once it wrapped up; without his role, the rest would bear extra strain.
He wavered and pondered.
Yet as the standoff dragged, the three Yan Ghost Arrays' tangle kept battering the dragon's frame nonstop. Scales peeled away in droves, and soldiers fell in numbers.
"That's it!"
Li Hao clenched his jaw, certain he couldn't hold off more. Further waits would rack up army losses too high, slashing the array's overall force.
He triggered Extreme Dao Chaos, surging his base sixfold in a heartbeat!
Three thousand drops of True God Blood jumped to eighteen thousand instantly!
His Control Force exploded upward, turning savage. This went beyond a simple six times boost; it marked a swift, profound shift.
The dragon's tail lashed out, and everyone in the ranks sensed a crushing power wrap around them, amplifying their strikes and vigor hugely.
Boom!
The dark colossal phantom got hurled back abruptly, flung over ten miles, its torso cracking wide with agony, smashing countless Ancient Demons.
"Kill!"
Li Hao bellowed, directing the dragon's tail into yet another brutal swing.
The Ancient Demons inside the dark colossal phantom reeled, the sudden twist leaving them unprepared.
Crash—the dragon's tail hammered down, the dark colossal phantom threw up its arms to fend off, but they burst apart in a flash, myriads of Ancient Demons dissolving into bloody haze, and its grotesque skull got pulverized by the tail strike, bursting outright.
This sight froze those along other sections of the dragon's form.
Wasting no time, Li Hao whipped forth a third blow without pause, crash, wiping out the dark colossal phantom entirely. The array collapsed into a puddle of inky gore.
Having crushed this Yan Ghost Array, Li Hao guided the dragon's tail to aid the dragon's underbelly, where yet another dark colossal phantom loomed.
His Extreme Dao Chaos window stayed short, so striking down as many foes as possible in that span made sense.
"Haotian, you..."
Liuli, Wuyue, and the others gaped at the display, grasping that though Li Hao's presence hovered at the Second Level of the Immortal King Realm, the might he poured out terrified with its intensity!
It neared Long Ying's command of the dragon's head, perhaps even surpassing!
Li Hao's dragon tail swept toward a dark colossal phantom at the dragon's underbelly.
The dark colossal phantom failed to evade fast enough and flew off, granting a brief breather to the battered zone.
"Haotian."
Shi Miao watched Li Hao's moves, her expression shifting, piecing together his choice yet too late to halt it.
The dark colossal phantom crashed down in ruins. Before Li Hao closed in, the earth quaked hard, two extra dark colossal phantoms barreling forward, their palms weaving shadowy ghost essence to parry Li Hao's dragon tail assault.
Li Hao had barely retracted the dragon tail when the ground rumbled fiercely. A Ghost Witch Formation, hunched in a threatening creep, bolted ahead at speed.
Evidently, the Ghost Witch Formation had sensed something unique in this Six Harmonies Dragon Scale Array and aimed to crush it fast.
Trailing the Ghost Witch Formation came a massive dragon shaped by the Earth Armor Department in chase, but lagging obviously.
Long Ying and the others, catching this, saw their faces twist sharply. The Ghost Witch Formation outclassed the Yan Ghost Array by far, and they stood no chance against it.
