Cultivation Begins from Infancy - Chapter 410

Volume 3 - Chapter 110: The Will of the Immortal Sect

Li Hao swiftly pursued, pinpointing the traces of Void Teleportation and intercepting it with a single sword strike!

The Void Holy Son was forced out of the void, visibly shocked—this was the first time he had encountered such a situation.

However, he quickly channeled a rule, redirecting himself through Void Teleportation to a distant location. He had noticed Li Hao’s deep devotion to the emperor and intended to exploit it as leverage to restrain him.

But before his attack could shift completely, Li Hao severed it. Mobilizing the power of the heavens and earth, Li Hao bore down on his opponent with the intent to kill.

The Void Holy Son’s pupils constricted. He quickly raised his hand, unleashing a divine ability:

Mirror Image Without Form!

In an instant, eight identical figures stepped out of the void, appearing around his body.

The eight figures struck simultaneously, their divine palms rising to block the oppressive force of Li Hao’s sword.

However, as soon as the divine palms made contact, they were overwhelmed by a force more terrifying than a mountain. The Void Holy Son was astonished. Previously, he had only observed Li Hao’s strength from afar, but now, firsthand, he realized how overwhelming it was. It was no wonder Li Hao had managed to kill in the Five Extremes Domain without restraint.

Such domineering strength nullified all rules, breaking through everything with sheer force!

A spurt of blood erupted from the Void Holy Son and his eight avatars, sending them scattering in panic.

All nine figures simultaneously used Void Teleportation to escape in different directions, each seemingly capable of unleashing the same level of power as the original. While common techniques could create avatars with one-third the strength of the original, producing eight avatars with identical power was an extraordinary divine ability.

Li Hao’s expression darkened. If he were to chase them one by one, they would have long since escaped. He suspected that even if only one avatar escaped, it could potentially transform back into the original, making the Void Holy Son exceptionally difficult to kill.

Suddenly, Li Hao recalled a divine ability he had recently obtained. Without hesitation, he activated it.

Although he had yet to reach the Dao Seeker Realm, the immense power of heaven and earth surged violently as he forced the divine ability to manifest. A fierce gale enveloped his body, and the surrounding energy condensed abruptly, forming a divine ability of pure energy.

A massive barrier materialized over the plaza outside the Imperial Palace, sealing it off completely and cutting off all connections to heaven and earth.

The nine Void Holy Son figures, who were about to rush out, were all blocked, their faces filled with shock.

He immediately recognized the divine ability as Heaven-Forbidden Earth’s End, but wasn’t this supposed to be the signature technique of Brother Mu?

Even if Li Hao had been forced to reveal it during the chase, this was an advanced divine ability—how could he have mastered it so quickly?

Could it be that he had already possessed it all along?

The Void Holy Son was momentarily stunned before realizing the truth: this youth must be the reincarnation of a Saint, having awakened the Saint’s memories to gain mastery of such abilities.

While the Void Holy Son was held back, Li Hao stepped out from the void and charged toward him at full speed.

With a loud explosion, one of the avatars was destroyed in an instant.

Li Hao then took another step, pursuing another figure.

The Void Holy Son, furious and alarmed, realized he was no match for Li Hao. At this moment, he had no desire to fight, only to escape.

“Don’t push me!”

As the second and third avatars were destroyed in quick succession, he couldn’t contain his anger and roared furiously.

The remaining avatars glared at Li Hao with equal fury and disbelief.

Li Hao remained silent, relentlessly pressing his assault.

Soon, two more avatars were slain.

As the number of avatars dwindled, Li Hao’s attacks grew even more ferocious. The Void Holy Son, in a mix of rage and desperation, gritted his teeth and produced a jade flute from the spatial realm, swiftly blowing a note.

The sound was ethereal and serene, dispelling the killing intent in the hearts of all who heard it.

Li Hao momentarily felt his mind calm.

But he quickly snapped out of it, charging toward the figure holding the flute.

The remaining avatars surged forward, intent on shielding the original.

With a loud explosion, Li Hao’s sword light cut down one of the avatars standing in his way, then turned to strike another.

Meanwhile, the sound of the flute floated into the void, becoming the only clear melody in the world.

As Li Hao destroyed the avatars one by one, the Void Holy Son grew increasingly anxious. When only the original remained, his expression turned desperate. Seeing Li Hao’s sword slash approaching, he roared and struck out with a palm technique.

A divine ability erupted from his palm, known as Caged Sparrow.

This ability could transform the user’s hand into a miniature world, imprisoning the target within it like a sparrow trapped in a cage, unable to break free.

For most, this divine ability would take immediate effect. However, the Void Holy Son’s opponent was none other than Li Hao.

Li Hao’s body and consciousness were deeply intertwined with the heavens and earth. To confine him with this technique would be equivalent to trying to contain the entire world within one’s palm—a feat utterly impossible for the Void Holy Son.

With a loud crash, the divine ability failed, and Li Hao’s sword light severed the Void Holy Son’s hand.

The Void Holy Son stood there in a daze, unable to comprehend how his divine ability had failed.

Faced with imminent death, he reacted swiftly, retreating while frantically playing his flute.

As a second melody rang out, Li Hao’s sword light once again bore down on him.

Just as the sword was about to strike the Void Holy Son, a dazzling golden rift suddenly appeared in the void behind him.

Sensing the aura within the rift, the Void Holy Son’s face lit up with joy and relief.

The rift was within reach, and he darted toward it without hesitation.

“Kid, when I ascend to sainthood, I will surely kill you!”

As the golden rift began to close, the Void Holy Son’s eyes blazed with murderous intent, locking onto Li Hao.

Li Hao’s expression turned icy cold.

“Then don’t leave!”

With a surge of energy, Li Hao condensed his sword light and unleashed a devastating slash.

The Void Holy Son’s face shifted as he rushed deeper into the golden rift.

Li Hao’s sword qi pierced through the golden rift, colliding with the forces within. Instantly, a terrifying burst of lightning and fire erupted, as if two worlds were clashing.

“Master Uncle, save me!”

Seeing the sword qi about to catch him, the Void Holy Son cried out desperately.

Suddenly, a cold snort echoed from the void beyond the rift.

The snort struck Li Hao like a hammer, shattering the sword qi and sending a tremor through his body.

“Chasing someone into the immortal path to kill them—how arrogant!”

A frigid voice resounded, followed by an overwhelming force sweeping out from the rift.

It was like a wave of energy from a flick of the sleeve but contained unimaginable power.

Li Hao’s pupils constricted as he hurriedly mobilized the forces of heaven and earth to defend himself. However, the boundless power was easily pierced through. In that moment, he recognized the familiar aura—it was Saint Force!

With a resounding explosion, his body was pierced, and he was torn apart, his form scattering into pieces.

...

As the golden rift gradually closed, the cold, detached presence retreated into the void.

When the void returned to stillness, the scattered blood droplets rapidly coalesced in mid-air, reforming into Li Hao’s body.

Although his face was calm, a trace of lingering fear flickered in his eyes. The casual strike from within the rift had nearly destroyed him, and even the power of the heavens and earth he commanded had been useless against it.

Clearly, his opponent was an existence far beyond the Dao Seeker Realm.

He could not determine whether they were at the Half-Saint or full Saint level.

Li Hao gazed at the spot where the rift had vanished, his expression shifting. Letting such a formidable enemy escape would surely lead to trouble in the future. He needed to find a way to eliminate the threat quickly.

Yet it seemed the opponent had retreated into the World of Saints, the domain of the immortal sects.

Could that truly be the land of the Saints?

As Li Hao’s thoughts churned, a sudden chill ran down his spine. Looking down, he realized his entire body was exposed.

Who said only those who stand in the light are heroes?

Even standing here stark naked counts.

At that moment, his newly reformed body was completely bare. Li Hao glanced toward the nearby group where Li Muxiu and others stood. Among them were royal consorts and princesses, all looking up at him.

Li Hao’s face turned red. He quickly summoned clothing from the bodies of the slain guards, draping them over himself to cover his modesty.

He then returned to the group, dispelling the Heaven-Forbidden Earth’s End divine ability and slowly exiting his Transcendent State.

“Child...”

The Emperor Yu, seeing Li Hao’s injured state, was filled with both sorrow and pride.

Li Hao gave him a reassuring smile.

Li Muxiu, Xia Linglong, and others hurried over to gather around him.

“Hao’er!”

“Thanks to General Haotian, we are all alive today!”

“Thank you, General Haotian, for saving our lives!”

The crowd was overwhelmed with gratitude and amazement. They hadn’t expected to survive, and they were in awe of Li Hao’s power.

To single-handedly save Great Yu—this was an achievement that no title of nobility could match.

Even the greatest generals who had fought alongside the previous emperor could not compare.

Yet they could see that such accolades no longer mattered to Li Hao.

Among the crowd, Li Tiangang stepped forward slowly, his expression complicated.

Until today, all his past criticisms and strict expectations of this young man—his character, his perseverance—seemed insignificant.

After all, Li Hao had just saved Great Yu and its people from disaster.
