Cultivation Begins from Infancy - Chapter 348

Volume 3 - Chapter 71: Ninefold Dao Domain, Ultimate Reincarnation – Part 2

Feng Lingxiao roared as flames engulfed his entire body, struggling desperately to break free from the Dao Domain.

Yet, even as his divine soul burned and his great meridians shattered, he remained firmly suppressed by the Dao Domain. With a resounding bang, he was crushed like dust, obliterated without the slightest resistance.

Long Jue Shen writhed as golden light erupted from his body. He had evidently mastered the Tongli Extreme Realm and entered a state of divine power. His dragon soul ignited, transforming into a surging force that flooded his own Dao Domain, attempting to pry open even the slightest gap. However, the oppressive weight of the Dao Domain bore down on him like a mountain of ten thousand tons, unmoving.

He roared in fury, but before his cry could finish, the suppression of the Eightfold Dao Domain annihilated both him and Feng Lingxiao, their divine souls obliterated.

In an instant, everything happened and ended.

Li Hao had already leaped into the air, charging directly toward the graceful woman.

Once again, it was his invincible fist momentum. However, this time, the Eightfold Dao Domain enveloped her, restricting her movements as his fist howled toward her head.

“Suppress the Stars!”

The graceful woman abruptly raised her head, shouting furiously as purple energy surged from her body. Her strength suddenly multiplied several times over. With a forceful tug of her arms, she tore apart Li Hao’s Dao Domain once again.

“You are strong, but it’s unfortunate that you encountered us too early. If you had remained hidden for a few more years, perhaps no one here could have stopped you!”

The graceful woman’s eyes turned purple as she gazed at the oncoming Li Hao. A wave of Dao aura emanated from her body, rising fiercely as she struck out with her palm.

Boom!!

Fist and palm clashed once more, creating an even more intense shockwave. This time, however, the graceful woman’s body was sent flying backward, slamming into the ground outside the city and leaving a deep crater.

Moments later, she emerged, blood trickling from the corner of her mouth and shock evident on her face.

Standing before her now was Li Hao, no longer at the Eightfold Dao Domain, but the Ninefold!

In just one exchange, she had been utterly crushed.

“At six years old, I faced Zhoutian assassins!”

“At fourteen, I encountered assassins at the Tongli Realm!”

“The assassinations and dangers I’ve faced since childhood far exceeded what I could withstand, yet I conquered them all. Is this the so-called strength of the Dao Seeker Realm? Too weak! Far weaker than I imagined!!”

Li Hao didn’t pause, continuing his pursuit of the woman.

His entire body radiated golden-red light, his hair flowing like golden divine flames. With a single gesture, the sacred treasure sword previously suppressed into the ground shot toward his hand at high speed.

This was none other than the Ten Extreme Sword once wielded by Long Jue Shen. The moment it landed in Li Hao’s palm, the sacred heart spirit within the sword had already been suppressed and refined by him, making it his weapon.

“Die!!”

Li Hao raised the sword and slashed downward. The ten extreme sword intents within the blade instantly burst forth, merging rapidly to form the most powerful Ultimate Sword Energy. This attack now carried his own sword intent as well.

Ultimate Reincarnation!

Whoosh!

The sword light sliced through the air as if splitting yin and yang, dividing heaven and earth. In a flash, it appeared before the woman.

Clang!

A sharp metallic ring echoed as the figure of a black-robed young man appeared out of nowhere. In his hand, he wielded a long spear emanating the aura of a sacred heart treasure, imbued with unique rule-bound power, managing to block Li Hao’s sword strike.

However, the destructive power of Li Hao’s swordsmanship forced him to retreat step by step.

They had initially believed the graceful woman alone could handle Li Hao. Instead, his emergence into the Ninefold Dao Domain had pushed her to the brink of defeat.

The power unleashed by the Ten Extreme Sword in Li Hao’s hands now far exceeded what Long Jue Shen could achieve with it.

Seeing his attack blocked, Li Hao didn’t stop. He immediately followed up with a second slash, then a third!

The heavens and earth trembled as surging power gathered into the blade. The Ultimate Sword Energy combined with the Reincarnation Sword Intent, launching a relentless barrage.

This unparalleled sword technique, unleashed as if it cost nothing, caused the black-robed young man’s expression to change. With a furious shout, his spear erupted with black lightning, piercing through the void and creating two pitch-black cracks in an attempt to swallow Li Hao’s sword energy.

Yet, the sheer dominance of Ultimate Reincarnation shattered those void rifts, continuing its deadly assault.

Furious and alarmed, the two adversaries unleashed their respective palm techniques and fist strikes, attempting to harness Dao energy to block the attack. But Li Hao’s ferocious and overwhelming strikes still suppressed them completely.

Within the city, the onlookers were left in stunned silence.

No one had expected Li Hao to fight two Dao Seeker Realm experts simultaneously with such unrelenting ferocity, shattering their understanding of power.

“Damn it, let me kill him!”

Seeing Li Hao wielding the very sacred heart treasure she had bestowed, using it to turn the tide against her, the graceful woman was so infuriated that she spat blood. The relentless assault of Ultimate Reincarnation left her continuously retreating, utterly incapable of mounting a defense.

Though her Dao energy couldn’t be destroyed, her body couldn’t endure the fierce sword energy. Her hands were cut, and her body was shaken to its core, leaving her in extreme distress.

The black-robed young man’s gaze turned dark upon hearing her words. He made no move to intervene and only said, “I’ll make it up to you later.”

Hearing this, the graceful woman no longer hesitated. Her body began to emit beams of silver light, the energy cracks spreading across her form as a radiant silver aura surged outward.

“Forcing my avatar to dissipate—I’ll remember you!”

Her face full of wrath, she lunged at Li Hao.

Li Hao, upon hearing her words, was momentarily stunned. So, this woman was only a Dao Seeker avatar?

No wonder she was so weak.

Earlier, he had sensed the intimidating presence of Ji Tianchao and that family patriarch from the Ji clan—a pressure deep as an abyss, unapproachable. Even with his Ninefold Dao Domain, he wasn’t sure he could have bested them. Yet, he had been able to suppress these two here with just the Ninefold Dao Domain. He’d assumed it was due to the disparity between the Ji clan’s prodigies and these demon-kind elites, but it turned out these two were only avatars.

Observing the intense Dao energy emanating from his opponent, signaling some kind of lethal strike, Li Hao halted his advance and, instead of hiding, resolved to unleash his own ultimate move.

The heavens and earth veins surged, gathering the energy of the surrounding land entirely under his command.

Immortal Ascension, Ten Percent Power!

Violent power poured into his body as divine light shot from Li Hao’s eyes, and the might of his Ninefold Dao Domain doubled in intensity!

Ten percent power coursed into the nine layers of his Dao Domain, strengthening each one. Multiplied together, this was an incredible boost.

Lifting his sword, he struck with devastating force.

The sacred heart treasure shivered, as if exhilarated by the magnitude of energy it absorbed.

The Ultimate Sword Energy coalesced into an unparalleled brilliance, surging forth.

In an instant, the sword energy coalesced into a dark veil, barreling toward the graceful woman and enveloping her in a storm of sword intents that instantly pierced her entire being.

“Impossible...”

The woman’s pupils shrank as the silver brilliance she radiated was swallowed by the pitch-black Reincarnation Sword Domain. Her consciousness was torn apart in a chaotic maelstrom.

With a final, explosive bang, the woman’s body was pierced by the sword energy and shattered into fragments.

The silver radiance within her dimmed; that was her Dao power, slashed through and fractured by the countless sword intents. No longer possessing its owner’s consciousness, it dispersed, dissolving into the heavens and earth.

The black-robed young man’s eyes narrowed in shock, never expecting the youth before him to have concealed such a trump card.

He was profoundly shaken, this young man’s strength consistently outstripping their every expectation.

Without the slightest hesitation, he turned and fled, instantly recognizing that confrontation was futile.

But even as he retreated, Li Hao’s gaze locked onto him:

“Didn’t you want to kill me? At least let me cut down one of your avatars to consecrate my sword!”

With a fierce swing, his power surged, drawing upon the land’s energy once more, amplifying further.

Twenty Percent Power!

Boom!

The Ultimate Sword Energy slashed out, as if tearing through a veil over the heavens, catching up to the black-robed young man within seconds. The dark Reincarnation Domain dragged him into its depths.

This time, the increased strength of Li Hao’s Dao Domain held him in place, countless sword energies piercing through his form.

“You...”

The black-robed young man glared at Li Hao, his head swiftly disintegrating, his form dissipating instantly.

There was no divine soul within his body—it was merely an avatar.

Li Hao raised his hand, retrieving the long spear. Fresh scratches lined the shaft, wounds inflicted by the sword energy of the Ten Extreme Sword.

Both avatars of the Desolate Gods were now obliterated. At this level of combat, Li Hao couldn’t hold back enough to capture them alive.

What’s more, even if he did capture them, they were just avatars. There would be no point in interrogation, as the real ones would never answer.

Although he had won, Li Hao’s expression did not reflect joy; rather, his gaze turned even more solemn.

To think they were just avatars and yet possessed such terrifying strength, able to battle him even with his Ninefold Dao Domain in full force. If their true selves arrived, just how powerful would they be?

The gap between the Dao Seeker Realm and the Taiping Dao Realm seemed greater than he had ever imagined.

His control over the Dao Domain was not yet sufficient, and he had too few master-level techniques. He needed to gain more profound teachings.

Fortunately, he now had the capability to fully wield Immortal Ascension...

Li Hao’s eyes gleamed with anticipation. Since reaching the Threefold Immortal Extremes, he hadn’t yet unleashed his true potential.

The blood-rebirth ability of the Threefold Immortal Extremes seemed tailor-made for pushing Immortal Ascension to its limits.

In other words, reaching the Threefold Immortal Extremes had granted him the ability to maximize his Immortal Ascension technique.

“Dao Seeker Realm...”

Li Hao’s eyes flickered as he pondered, wondering what tiers existed within the Dao Seeker Realm and what the true extent of its power might be.

As Li Hao stood, sword in hand, deep in thought, the city’s onlookers remained in stunned silence, as if awakening from a dream.
