Chapter 969: Chapter 202 Swallowing the Universe (8K)_3

Li Hao methodically destroyed each fragment of the Primordial Spirit, then turned his gaze toward the one attempting to flee frantically into the distance. He sneered coldly and stepped into the Returning Ruin Instantaneous Movement, chasing after it at lightning speed.

The fleeing Primordial Spirit’s expression changed drastically, but it only spared him a glance before bolting forward without looking back.

At this moment, it couldn’t afford to consider anything else. Its only goal was to reach the Dragon Saint or another Saint to expose the secret of Li Hao’s cultivation into Three Saints.

As long as this news reached the ears of the Supreme Saints, the Primordial Spirit believed that even if the Immortal Divine Road were discovered, these Supreme Saints would join forces to crush Li Hao, making him follow the path of the Divine King.

After all, the fusion of Three Saints concerned the Saint Extreme Realm—a concept both mystical and precarious.

It was once said that the Extreme Realm culminated in the Tao Comprehension Realm, beyond which there existed no further realms of extremity.

Thus, the Saint Extreme Realm became a myth, and since no one had succeeded in cultivating the Three Saints in One, that myth remained unverified.

Now, the Mixed Heaven Saint was certain that the Saint Extreme Realm existed—that Three Saints in One was the path to the Extreme Realm. Otherwise, a mere One Disaster Saint like Li Hao could never have challenged him, let alone defeated him!

“Too bad you’re out of chances!”

Li Hao’s icy voice rang out, and at the same time, the Mixed Heaven Saint suddenly sensed a blade closing in on his back with alarming speed.

His pupils contracted as he stared at Li Hao in shock. Though Li Hao was far away, the blade reached him in an instant. Even with mastery over the Primordial Spirit, this defied its limits.

Unless Li Hao possessed some kind of Secret Technique to greatly expand the range of Primordial Spirit Object Control—but even then, the sheer scale of this range was inconceivable.

Moreover, the fragment approaching silently had eluded his notice completely.

Bang!

As he reeled in astonishment, a faint and enigmatic force suddenly materialized ahead of him.

The Mixed Heaven Saint was overwhelmed with fear and frantically tried to dodge, but it was too late.

It was a line—a line invisible to the naked eye.

Swish!

The line sliced through the Primordial Spirit of the Mixed Heaven Saint, and simultaneously, the fragment closed in, swiftly slashing him apart. In the blink of an eye, his Primordial Spirit shattered.

The shattered fragments of the Primordial Spirit tried to scatter and flee.

But Li Hao seized this opportunity to close the distance. His Dao Domain extended, enveloping every fragment of the Primordial Spirit.

The fragmented Primordial Spirit froze instantly within the Eternal Dao Domain. With a simple gesture from Li Hao, all the fragments flew toward him.

Li Hao wasted no time with words—his Primordial Spirit surged forth and absorbed every fragment entirely.

The furious roars and anguished screams of the Mixed Heaven Saint rang out before they abruptly vanished.

Li Hao surveyed his surroundings to ensure no trace had been overlooked and then turned his gaze to the remaining corpse of the Mixed Heaven Saint.

This place was perilous and unpredictable, and Li Hao had no time for refinement. He consumed the corpse whole in one swift motion.

Once the Mixed Heaven Saint’s remaining flesh was devoured, Li Hao finally relaxed. He scanned the area again to ensure no omissions, before gradually suppressing his own power—the myriad Extreme Realm powers quietly dissipated.

“This Mixed Heaven Saint must be truly dead…”

Li Hao’s eyes flickered. Having experienced the scenario with the Star Saint before, he could not be certain whether his opponent had some hidden Secret Treasure that left behind a Fire Seed.

What was undeniable, however, was that the Mixed Heaven Saint here had indeed been slain—completely and utterly!

“The corpse, the Primordial Spirit—even if a Fire Seed remains, it is exceedingly faint and poses no threat…”

Li Hao’s eyes gleamed. After departing the Ancient Hall, he would seek Feng’s aid in divination to confirm whether any Fire Seed remained.

If such a seed existed, his foe would inevitably attempt to spread knowledge of his cultivation, drawing countless troubles his way.

“But if my power advances further, even the Source Ancestor will hold no fear for me. If that news spreads, it matters not. Much like the Source Ancestor holding the Seven Tribulation Emperor Weapon—the only one across All Heavens—tempting as it is, none dare lay claim…”

“The Divine King was besieged by All Saints ultimately due to greed provoked by vulnerability. Yet, possessing power to awe All Heavens dispels avarice and surveillance alike.”

Li Hao mulled over these thoughts.

For those who walk amidst brilliance, countless gazes—some harboring ill intent—are inevitable. It is the way of the world.

He glanced around—the battle’s shockwaves had shattered two of the Ancient Mountains.

The traces of combat here could not be erased in the short term, compelling him to depart swiftly while concealing his presence.

Li Hao turned and headed toward the earlier teleportation site. Now, only the Dragon Saint remained there, a relatively minor concern.

As he traveled, Li Hao felt his body undergoing perpetual transformation. His flesh and blood seemed to split and evolve ceaselessly, unleashing terrifying bursts of power.

His Physical Body Saint Path grew increasingly fortified and approached Perfection.

Li Hao did not hasten his flight but strolled leisurely through the air.

A walk after a feast aids digestion.

The Mixed Heaven Saint’s massive body had been entirely consumed; every fiber of his Saint Path had been absorbed.

“This… is Extreme Strength Saint Path…”

Within his body, Li Hao sensed the Saint Path that had belonged to the Mixed Heaven Saint. Extreme Strength Saint Path—the Power Great Tao—enabled strength to be amplified to its utmost limits.

Having established his Path through physicality, Li Hao already surpassed other Saints. Absorbing the Extreme Strength Saint Path yielded a leap in his power—now, even in direct confrontation based purely on strength, he would not falter before a Supreme Saint.

Moreover, as his flesh continued to evolve, it simultaneously grew stronger.

Li Hao drew a blade across the back of his hand, only to find he couldn’t break the skin. It was akin to attempting to carve thick cowhide with a dull knife; even forceful cutting resulted only in shallow white marks.

Li Hao put the blade away and picked up the Emperor’s Weapon—a battle saber. The weapon possessed its own consciousness, but after witnessing Li Hao roast and devour the Mixed Heaven Saint, coupled with exposure to the Chaos Divine Fire, it felt a melting sensation. Currently, it was entirely submissive, telegraphing placating intentions to Li Hao.
