Cultivation Begins from Infancy - Chapter 299

Volume 3 - Chapter 42: I Will Condense My Own Sacred Bone – Part 1

"It won't work; the family head must be ready to stop them at any moment!"

Ji Yunqing spoke hastily.

Ji Tianchao nodded slightly, already prepared to take action if necessary.

In the arena, as Ji Xuanshen’s Dao Domain unfurled, the bricks and stone tiles within began to shatter, collapsing under the oppressive laws of the Dao Domain.

His Dao Domain governed the Law of Fission, causing everything within to split apart, fragment, and ultimately perish!

Eventually, the Dao Domain expanded to cover half the arena, stopping right in front of Li Hao.

"If you kneel and beg for mercy now, I might spare your life. Otherwise, in a single breath, you’ll be reduced to nothing!"

Ji Xuanshen declared coldly.

"One breath is enough!"

Li Hao replied firmly.

At that moment, he ceased holding back, his gaze turning resolute.

A Dao Domain—a realm on par with that of the Candlefire God, the ruler of the Void Realm. Yet Ji Xuanshen, merely a young prodigy of the Ji Clan, could wield such power. This spoke volumes about the immense heritage of this ancient holy clan!

"You, enter the Qiankun Belt!"

Li Hao transmitted his voice to the Scarlet Blood Vine Demon King wrapped around his wrist.

"Alright, but be careful—he’s terrifying..."

The Scarlet Blood Vine Demon King’s tendrils seemed to caress Li Hao’s wrist before retreating swiftly into the opened Qiankun Belt.

Within the Dao Domain, Li Hao himself could withstand the pressure, but the Scarlet Blood Vine Demon King would shatter and die in an instant.

After storing away the Scarlet Blood Vine Demon King, Li Hao focused entirely on the battle. He took a deep breath, his aura surging, activating the Earth and Heaven Meridian. A mouthful of immortal energy exhaled, drawing in the qi of heaven and earth.

Immortal Ascension!

Li Hao’s aura surged rapidly. The red-gold radiance enveloping his body grew ever more dazzling.

Streams of energy, thick as white smoke, poured continuously into his body, as if all rivers flowed into the sea, carrying an overwhelming might.

"What is that?!"

"That looks like... the Earth and Heaven Meridian?!"

"My heavens, this is the pinnacle of the Zhoutian Realm, and he has mastered it?!"

The crowd was stunned by the sight of the silken, tangible energy manifesting around him.

As members of an ancient holy clan, they were knowledgeable enough to recognize this extraordinary phenomenon: the Earth and Heaven Meridian pushed to its absolute peak.

Even within their clan, only a handful had ever reached this pinnacle in the second realm of cultivation.

"The Earth and Heaven Meridian... He actually has the Earth and Heaven Meridian!"

"No wonder he doesn’t need to rest and can fight endlessly."

"Is he really a half-blood? Even with our Ji Clan’s strongest meridian-clearing and energy-guiding techniques, it’s impossible to open all 108 major meridians. And he has both the Yin-Yang Dual Meridians on top of that!"

"Unless he cultivated multiple top-tier meridian-clearing techniques, stacking and reflecting upon each other, to open all his meridians completely. But the Yang Meridian is exceedingly dangerous—without a power to reverse fate as a safeguard, attempting this would almost certainly lead to death!"

Everyone was utterly astounded by Li Hao. Even cultivating a single meridian-clearing technique to perfection wouldn’t open all 108 meridians.

It would take several, or even a dozen, overlapping techniques to achieve such clarity, something only a select few elders and battle-hardened warriors like Ji Tianchao had accomplished after many years of cultivation.

This was largely due to the sheer variety and breadth of the Ji Clan’s meridian-clearing techniques. Elders from smaller clans, even after centuries of cultivation, often couldn’t achieve the Earth and Heaven Meridian. Techniques were guarded as a family’s foundational treasure, with clans frequently waging battles over them.

"That boy managed to cultivate the Earth and Heaven Meridian and opened two supreme limits!"

Ji Yun Yue and others were equally shocked. No wonder Li Hao had previously boasted about challenging all cultivators below the Dao Domain level without faltering. With a body refined like a divine weapon and the support of the Earth and Heaven Meridian, he indeed stood undefeated below the Dao Domain!

"He’s not arrogant; he knows exactly what he’s doing. But if he’s challenging the Dao Domain, could he have another trump card?"

"Indeed. To activate the Earth and Heaven Meridian to such a degree, visible even to those in the Spirit Wandering Realm, his current technique must be consuming immense energy..."

Ji Tianchao stared intently at the young man, his expression more serious than ever. His aura, restrained like divine lightning, indicated he was prepared to intervene at any moment.

"He might... have mastered three supreme limits!"

Hearing Ji Tianchao’s words, Ji Yunqing and the others froze before their faces changed drastically.

Three supreme limits?

They knew what it meant to control three supreme limits.

...

Above, even Ji Qingshuang and other prodigies who had yet to make a move were shaken by the scene. They finally realized the vast gap between themselves and this young man.

The Earth and Heaven Meridian—among all the Ji Clan’s prodigies, only one person had ever mastered it.

That was Ji Xuanshen.

Now, as he observed the silken energy flowing around Li Hao, Ji Xuanshen’s cold eyes revealed a trace of surprise.

"You also have the Earth and Heaven Meridian?"

He hadn’t expected this half-blood youth to have advanced so far in his cultivation, nearly catching up to him.

Aside from lacking Sacred Bones and additional years of training, this youth was already not far behind!

And given Li Hao’s younger age, with time, he would inevitably become what Ji Xuanshen was today.

"It seems you indeed have the right to be arrogant. But unfortunately, when I was your age, I was far less reckless than you. You will meet your end!"

No longer holding back, Ji Xuanshen raised his hand, pushing his Dao Domain forward.

"In my Dao Domain, even supreme limits are futile. Everything shall be severed—this is my domain!"

Ji Xuanshen’s aura surged as he chose not to employ the Earth and Heaven Meridian, relying solely on his Dao Domain to suppress everything.

The power of a Dao Domain was absolute. Even top-tier prodigies with absolute techniques couldn’t stand against the Supreme Dao Realm.

After all, those who achieved the Supreme Dao Realm were themselves once top-tier prodigies.

As the Dao Domain’s oppressive force surged toward him, cutting off the surrounding heaven and earth energy, Li Hao took a deep breath, retreating swiftly. At the same time, he drew upon immortal energy, pushing Immortal Ascension to 50%.

A torrent of power converged into his body as the Earth and Heaven Meridian operated at full capacity. Spiritual energy formed visible networks, flowing toward Li Hao like rivers into the sea.

Li Hao’s flesh began to crack open, yet his wounds healed almost instantaneously. In his empowered state, his recovery rate outpaced the damage, leaving only faint traces of golden blood seeping through his skin.

His eyes widened with fury as the Dao Domain surged toward him, threatening to envelop the entire field. In an explosive burst, Li Hao charged straight ahead.

"He’s entering the Dao Domain!"

The crowd gasped as Li Hao stepped directly into Ji Xuanshen’s domain.

The power of a Dao Domain was absolute—none could resist it!

Just as everyone thought Li Hao’s body would be crushed under the weight of the domain’s oppressive laws, an incredible sight unfolded.

Li Hao strode forward, undeterred, his movements as swift as a meteor. The Dao Domain’s oppressive laws seemed to have little effect on him.

"What?!"

The audience was stunned, their eyes wide with disbelief.

Even Ji Xuanshen froze momentarily, unable to fathom how Li Hao was moving freely within his domain.

He had known Li Hao’s physical body was strong, but to withstand the pressure of a Dao Domain was unthinkable—it was akin to the resilience of a Sacred Dao treasure!

"So this is your confidence?!"

Ji Xuanshen’s eyes flashed with cold light as he raised his hand and unleashed a palm strike.

The strike radiated with violet-black lightning, surging outward in concert with the Dao Domain’s overwhelming power.

"Break!!"

Li Hao roared as he punched forward. The force of Immortal Ascension condensed into his fist, crashing against the violet-black lightning.

His fist shattered the lightning strike, his body blazing through like a comet. Even as purple lightning scorched his skin, he ignored it, driving forward at full speed toward Ji Xuanshen.

A tremendous force gathered in his fist, and he unleashed it in a devastating blow.

The laws of the Dao Domain sought to erode his punch, with its fission forces grinding down the momentum. Yet, despite losing nearly half its power, the punch still struck like a meteorite.

It smashed into Ji Xuanshen’s chest.

Ji Xuanshen raised his arm to block, but the sheer might of Li Hao’s Immortal Ascension surpassed his strength. The force drove Ji Xuanshen’s arm into his own chest, shattering bones and caving in his torso. His entire body was sent flying backward!

As the remnants of the punch dissipated, silence engulfed the arena.

Not only the spectators but even Ji Daoxin and Ji Tianchao—who had been ready to intervene—were frozen in shock.

A single punch within the Dao Domain had sent a Supreme Dao Realm cultivator flying!

This scene shattered their understanding, challenging everything they believed possible.

The Ji Clan members in the audience bore expressions of sheer disbelief. In their minds, the image of Li Hao, standing as an undefeated war god, was etched deeply.

Alone, he had fought against the prodigies and emerged triumphant, his strength like that of a divine being.

With a thunderous stomp, Li Hao planted his foot firmly on the ground. The Dao Domain continued to tear at his body, but his regenerative power offset the damage.

However, he knew he couldn’t endure this for long. The longer he remained within the domain, the weaker he would become. He had to finish this quickly.

As Li Hao, golden like a bolt of lightning, charged forward, Ji Xuanshen recovered from his fall. He spat out a mouthful of golden blood before flipping upright.

Sliding backward on his heels, he caught sight of the rapidly approaching Li Hao. A mix of shock and rage flashed across his face.

He, a Supreme Dao Realm cultivator, had been injured by someone in the Three Immortals Realm.

Unacceptable!

"Get on your knees!!"
