Follow the path of Dao from infancy

All the demons were dumbstruck with shock, intimidated by the unwavering aura of this youth.

Elsewhere, the Heaven and Earth Law Manifestation continued to drag the Heaven-Devouring Demon Ancestor, furiously smashing it into the ground and creating deep trenches as if the earth were cracking open.

The nearby mountains were shattered by the impacts, scales on the Demon Ancestor's head were knocked loose, and its skin was ripped open, flesh bursting forth.

It let out a roar of rage and humiliation, suddenly shooting out countless scales from its tail, slicing the palms of the Heaven and Earth Law Manifestation, and then with a fierce twist of its tail, broke free.

The divine light surged within the Heaven and Earth Law Manifestation, healing the rips in its palms.

Li Hao watched the Demon Ancestor struggling to break free and chased after it with his sword drawn.

"Bastard, do you really think you are invincible?!"

The Heaven-Devouring Demon Ancestor roared, its majesty as a Demon King completely swept away, rage turning its eyes blood red as it charged at Li Hao instead of retreating.

As it neared, the ferocity in its eyes became apparent, and it suddenly opened its mouth wide, which, aside from two exceedingly long fangs, contained numerous small sharp teeth.

At this moment, it used its most powerful Cultivation Technique, the Heaven-Devouring Demon Skill!

Like a vortex, a powerful sucking force suddenly enveloped Li Hao; at such a close distance, it didn't believe that Li Hao could escape!

"Hao Er!"

Feng Boping, who was far away, saw this and his complexion changed drastically. Just as he was about to hurry over, Monarch Bai suddenly sensed something, roared loudly, and transformed into a white tiger, pouncing at him.

Li Hao saw his opponent's gaping maw and, although he had anticipated it, was unable to avoid the enveloping suction force.

His eyes cold, he held the Dragon Soar Sword in his hand, and seeing that trying to pull away was useless, he suddenly accelerated and headed straight into its mouth.

Whoosh!

In the blink of an eye, Li Hao was swallowed by the Heaven-Devouring Demon Ancestor.

In its eyes gleamed a bloodthirst: "Boy, even True Dragons have been devoured by me, you..."

Before it could finish speaking, its expression abruptly changed, and then it fiercely opened its mouth, spewing out a mouthful of black demonic blood.

At the same time, a whirlpool-like Sword Qi swept out from inside its body, sending numerous Sword Qi flying in all directions.

One of those Sword Qi struck through its body and burst out with a strange light.

The Heaven-Devouring Demon Ancestor was about to struggle and spit out Li Hao, but suddenly, as the eerie Sword Qi penetrated, its body convulsed as if its spine was being drawn out, shrouded by the shadow of death.

"No!"

The Heaven-Devouring Demon Ancestor immediately thought of the Ten Thousand Caverns Ghost Mother who had strangely perished not long ago, its pupils constricting with terror.

As it watched its life diminish beyond recovery, it hastily used its Defying Fate power!

Its body split open violently, and from the huge flesh on the back, another demon body emerged, only thirty to fifty feet long, much smaller than the original.

The smaller demon body flew out and immediately fled into the distance.

Meanwhile, the massive body of the Heaven-Devouring Demon fell straight down.

Just before it hit the ground, a dragon roar and a flash of golden light emerged from its spine, soaring to the sky—it was Li Hao, who had been swallowed.

Li Hao looked toward the fleeing Heaven-Devouring Demon Ancestor; its energy was feeble, and it seemed its Cultivation Realm had fallen, making it an excellent opportunity to kill it.

Just as he was about to pursue, he suddenly felt a wave of dizziness as if something indefinable in the void had briefly disturbed him.

When he looked again, he could no longer lock onto the figure of the Heaven-Devouring Demon Ancestor; it had vanished without a trace.

The remaining demon aura traces also disappeared, seemingly erased by some kind of "fate"-like power.

Li Hao's eyes became somber; this was the power of the Defying Fate Realm.

It was far more than simply a second life; it was a guaranteed escape from death!

Even in the face of his fatal attributes, it could survive, which was truly terrifying.

No wonder those families with a Defying Fate Realm powerhouse can prosper indefinitely, even if they are besieged and assassinated, causing their families to be destroyed. But with Defying Fate as a safety net, after escaping, one would have antagonized a lurking Four Stands Realm powerhouse—like a venomous scorpion, a situation no one would want to provoke or confront.

Li Hao's gaze withdrew and looked towards the other side at the Phoenix.

Feng Shan Jun, upon seeing the Heaven-Devouring Demon Ancestor's body fall, realized something was wrong. At this moment, as Li Hao looked over, it felt a surge of horror and immediately used its fastest movement technique, transforming into a red cloud and swiftly flying away into the distance.

As a Defying Fate Realm Demon King, having come from far away, it was now fleeing in a panic.

With its True Phoenix Bloodline, it felt indescribably stifled and ashamed, but fear was dominant—the fear of being chased down by Li Hao.

Li Hao's movement technique was only at the Third Stage, and even though the Illustrated Handbook Attributes enhanced his speed, he was still much slower than the fire phoenix. It was too late to catch up on his own.

He threw the Dragon Soar Sword, enshrouding it with the power of item control and adding the Hidden Bow and Flying Phase properties.

The Dragon Soar Sword turned into a streak of golden light and flew out at extreme speed.

Boom!

The sword slashed towards the body of the fire phoenix.

Feng Shan Jun sensed the danger and narrowly avoided it, failing to trigger the double assassination property of the Hidden Bow, only managing to nick the edge of its wings.

It was wounded and in pain, feeling both shocked and furious, and released a vast expanse of fiery clouds that enveloped the surroundings, transforming into a domain of a sea of fire.

The Dragon Soar Sword caught up again but was blocked by the sea of fire, its lethality greatly reduced. It kept hacking away, but Feng Shan Jun, with its feathers hard as iron, barely resisted, cutting a path a hundred miles away, yet it could not be stopped.

Li Hao watched as the opponent got away, frowning slightly with some regret. Movement was currently his weak point.

It seemed necessary to quickly immerse himself in poetry and books or musical rhythm to reach a state of mind, raise his movement technique to the Fourth Stage, then add points to reach the Sixth Stage. Then, together with the Illustrated Handbook's enhancement, probably few Demon Kings would be able to outrun him...

Li Hao summoned back the Dragon Soar Sword and turned to attack Monarch Bai, who was entangled with Feng.

Monarch Bai was constantly monitoring the situation here, and when the Heaven-Devouring Demon Ancestor was forced to use the Defying Fate opportunity, he paled, realizing that the situation was dire and started to flee.

But Feng Boping responded quickly and tangled with him, blocking his way.

"Get lost!"

Monarch Bai, vexed by Feng Boping's persistent engagement, let out a roar. It was furious, not expecting that it would be the last one to remain.

It let out a tiger's roar, its fierce presence shaking everything around it.

Li Hao narrowed his eyes as he watched and suddenly charged forward, all the Illustrated Handbook Attributes embedded in his flesh bursting forth.

The Qiongqi Mountains Painting, Tiger Press, Blood Sea Fierce Jiao Painting!

"Who the hell are you roaring at!"

Li Hao roared back, his might shaking the heavens.

The combined ferocity of the many Illustrated Handbooks caused Monarch Bai to falter, feeling a chill in his gut.

Back when he faced this young man's father, he had looked down on him, and if not for his wariness of the Sword Saint from Northern Yan, he would have personally taken the field rather than lying low behind the scenes of the Northern Yan war, merely acting as a commander.

"You!"

Monarch Bai, outraged and seeing the countless streams of Sword Qi gathering in the sky, felt his anger turn to fear, knowing that faced with a two-on-one situation, it was impossible for him to escape unscathed.

"I will remember you!"

Monarch Bai gritted his teeth and immediately used the Defying Fate opportunity.

Its body suddenly rushed toward the distance, turning into a streak of white light.

Li Hao manipulated countless streams of Sword Qi to chase and kill, but they all missed. It was as if a certain power was guiding them, causing them to veer off course.

The opponent seemed to stand amidst the oncoming torrent of arrows, yet remained unharmed, possessed of an astonishing luck.

Feng Boping saw the opponent forced to use the Defying Fate opportunity and stopped in his tracks as well. He knew that under normal circumstances, with his Heaven and Earth Law Manifestation, there were few in the Defying Fate Realm who could see his movements or catch up to him. But once the opponent used Defying Fate, he could be as fast as he liked and still would not catch up.

Various "accidents" would occur, leading to the loss of the opponent.

If he pushed too hard, provoking a backlash from that power, even some "accidents" could severely injure him!

As Monarch Bai fled, the young girl in the red dress had already taken the lead to retreat. She realized that the plan to besiege the young man was crumbling when she saw the Heaven-Devouring Demon Ancestor forced to flee!

The battle was over, and the young man's Fighting God ferocity could no longer be blocked.

"It's terrifying, this young man's physique is comparable to a True Dragon!"

"Three Demon Kings couldn't besiege him, and he even turned the tables and killed them!"

The young girl, transformed into a red bird, flew into the distant clouds and away from the battlefield.

But the scenes left on the battlefield were branded in her mind like scars, causing her heart to race with fear and shock.

"Quick, send out the message, everyone clear the way wherever this young man goes!"

She suddenly snapped back to reality and urgently sent out the message with a mysterious whistle.

That young man, unstoppable!
