Chapter 984 -205: Ancient Demon Cataclysm, Ten Stages of Controlling Dao! (10,000-Word Update 2)_2
Li Hao hurriedly closed his eyes, but his eyeballs still throbbed with pain. He felt that even if he gouged out his eyes and regrew new ones, the pain would persist—this was beyond his understanding.
“Don’t stare at it; that’s the beast’s strongest attack. It can devour souls and directly target the soul itself.”
At this moment, the voice of the middle-aged warrior suddenly echoed in Li Hao’s mind.
Immediately after, a flash of sword light appeared in Li Hao’s mind.
The sword light slashed forward at incredible speed, cutting through the darkness in front of him.
The stabbing pain instantly lessened and quickly disappeared. Li Hao opened his eyes again but only glanced briefly at the battlefield. He saw the middle-aged warrior locked in combat with the demon amidst the black mist.
The black mist encircled the middle-aged warrior but could not get close, as it was eradicated by the Sword Qi surrounding him.
Li Hao dared not look for too long, only sneaking glances occasionally, yet his heart was filled with shock. freewebnσvel.cøm
He was capable of defeating Huntian, and that alone meant his combat power was at the level of a Supreme Saint. Yet, he wasn’t even qualified to properly observe this battle—was this the level of an Immortal Divine combat?
Amidst the violent tremors, Li Hao saw the middle-aged warrior gradually gaining the upper hand, leaving scar after scar upon the demon’s body. But these wounds seemed unable to heal. Blood seeped endlessly, and the demon let out ear-piercing screams, roaring in violent fury.
Li Hao cautiously flicked his eyes back and forth. Suddenly, a warning surged from deep within his heart.
“Be careful! Many Third Rank Ancient Demons are approaching!”
The middle-aged warrior’s voice once again echoed in Li Hao’s mind.
Li Hao’s expression shifted slightly as he identified the source of the danger. Scanning his surroundings, he saw seven or eight massive, grotesque figures flying in from dozens of miles away. Their bodies were bat-like, each spanning hundreds of meters. Their shapes varied—some had twisted wings, while others had broken ones, appearing as though they had been polluted by some force.
These creatures belonged to the same kin as the demon battling the middle-aged warrior, but they were far smaller in size and less imposing in power.
Li Hao studied them closely and couldn’t help but feel alarmed. These so-called Third Rank Ancient Demons, as described by the middle-aged warrior, all carried traces of a Saint Domain around their bodies. Their aura was comparable to the likes of Huntian and Dragon Saint—beings at the pinnacle of Supreme Saints!
As the seven or eight Third Rank Ancient Demons arrived at the battlefield, they glanced in the direction of the middle-aged warrior’s fight and began surveying their surroundings. Their gazes quickly locked onto the bronze war chariot.
Hiding inside the bronze war chariot, Li Hao felt as though his sight connected with that of the Third Rank Ancient Demons, and both parties became acutely aware of one another.
“Damn it, it looks like they’re here for me.”
Li Hao’s face darkened as he took out the sharp Remnant Blade, ready to strike at any moment.
With a deafening howl, the seven or eight Third Rank Ancient Demons rushed to the bronze war chariot. But before they could act, the Sword Qi hovering outside the war chariot suddenly surged forward violently.
The Sword Qi erupted with a thunderous roar, cutting through the void at lightning speed and piercing through the bodies of three Ancient Demons.
The bodies of the Ancient Demons pierced by the Sword Qi dissolved like ice melting in the sun, vanishing into the heavens and earth, their auras extinguished.
The remaining Ancient Demons hesitated in fear, hurriedly halting in their tracks. But after the Sword Qi annihilated the three demons, it dissipated. Casting a cautious glance at the distant middle-aged warrior, who was tied down by their leader and unable to intervene, the remaining demons immediately dove toward the bronze war chariot.
Even before they approached, Li Hao could sense the dense presence of multiple Saint Domains descending upon him.
At the same time, a thick stench began to permeate the air.
Li Hao’s expression changed slightly. He knew that continuing to cower inside the war chariot would only result in being cornered like a trapped animal.
“Don’t come out. Those mere Third Rank Ancient Demons won’t be able to break the Immortal Array on the war chariot!”
The middle-aged warrior’s voice echoed once more in Li Hao’s mind.
Even amidst his fierce battle, the warrior was still keeping an eye on the situation here. Hearing his words, Li Hao froze momentarily, a trace of gratitude welling up in his heart.
At this moment, a torrent of Saint Domains descended upon the bronze war chariot. The carvings of Exotic Beasts on the war chariot seemed to animate, letting out low roars as a glowing array shrouded the chariot, blocking the Saint Domains from breaching the barrier.
The low growls of the Exotic Beasts made the advancing Ancient Demons hesitate and retreat slightly. But soon, they lunged forward again, using their Saint Domains to wear down the glowing array protecting the chariot.
Li Hao could feel that the glowing array contained power that surpassed the Saint Path. However, this power seemed incredibly weakened, and under the persistent assault of the Ancient Demons, though it might not shatter, it would be further depleted.
Li Hao turned to glance at the middle-aged warrior’s side of the battlefield. The thousand-meter-long demon he was fighting was covered in scars, yet its ferocity was only growing. The middle-aged warrior, however, remained composed and deliberate in his attacks, completely suppressing the demon.
Whoosh!
A sudden gale surged in front of him. The Ancient Demons summoned winds, lightning, and swirling sands, encircling the bronze war chariot in an attempt to overturn it. But the battlefield was imbued with a power that made the chariot immovable.
“Take this blade of mine!”
No longer willing to stay idle, Li Hao suddenly unleashed the Remnant Blade, charging out of the bronze war chariot and slashing at the closest Ancient Demon.
The Ancient Demon seemed caught off guard by Li Hao’s daring attack. Taken by surprise—and coupled with the extreme sharpness of the Remnant Blade—its body was pierced through in an instant.
However, its body quickly regenerated the moment it was torn apart and punctured.
Unlike the middle-aged warrior, Li Hao couldn’t prevent the wounds from healing.
Even so, Li Hao didn’t despair. Instead, he used his Primordial Spirit to control the Remnant Blade, continually stabbing and slashing through the Ancient Demons’ bodies, maneuvering deftly inside them.
Bang!
One of the Ancient Demons let out a bellow, ramming its Saint Domain against the Remnant Blade with sudden force.
Li Hao felt his Primordial Spirit tremble slightly, a buzzing sensation spreading through his mind. It was disorienting, but he gritted his teeth and endured it, incorporating the attributes of Flying Phase and Hidden Bow into the Remnant Blade. This expanded his attack range and concealed the blade’s traces, making it elusive and unpredictable.
