Volume 3 - Chapter 415: A Drop of Divine Blood, Defying a Heavenly Lord’s Will (Part 5)
Hei Ji was stunned. The fury and shock in her eyes churned wildly with disbelief.
Over a thousand divine soul golden bones?
That divine soul strength… it surpassed even hers! She had cultivated for over seven hundred years!
But the boy before her—his soul lifespan was not even a full century!
And he was only at the second stage of the Immortal Lord Realm!
His divine soul strength had surpassed his realm to such an extent—it was unheard of, inconceivable!
At this moment, as Li Hao's divine soul blazed furiously, that boundless, terrifying power surged into his physical body. It was a wave of supreme control. He channeled it into his Celestial Meridian of All Heavens, compressing the vast Immortal force that gathered instantly under this tremendous power.
Ultimately, all of that Immortal force condensed into a terrifying beam of sword energy.
“Now… SLASH!!!”
Li Hao's eyes brimmed with blood-like tears. The pain of burning his divine soul was a hundred times worse than any bodily agony!
Yet this torment only fueled his madness. With that, he unleashed his most extreme strike at Hei Ji!
Boom!
As the sword slashed through the void, it was as if all existence was annihilated. Time itself seemed severed. All sound ceased.
The collapsing black sphere flying toward him was cleaved in two, instantly shattered by the sword energy!
Though the sword energy was diminished, it surged again under the roaring force of his burning divine soul. Reinvigorated, it surged forward with unstoppable momentum, slashing toward Hei Ji.
“So this… this is what he was relying on…”
Su Zhenyuan and the others were shaken. They finally understood where Li Hao’s courage had come from.
But for him to burn his divine soul like this—when this battle ended, even if he lived, he would be crippled!
Under their gazes, the sword energy reached Hei Ji in an instant. When her attack had been shattered, she had already sensed the overwhelming threat—she could even smell the scent of death.
The shock in her heart was beyond words. Separated by seven full realms, and yet… she was facing the threat of death from a second-stage Immortal Lord?
But that raging divine soul fire… that overwhelming spiritual heat… she understood.
He had burned everything to bridge the gap between them.
“Die!!!”
Her eyes turned pitch-black. Her black mist-like form churned, fusing with heaven and earth, with Immortal force.
Eternal Night. Absolute Darkness. She melded into the cosmos—became one with it.
Dark power surged out from behind her. And with it, a will descended—a boundless, towering will, like a mountain fallen from some distant starry sky. In its presence, all beings were ants.
As that extraordinary will descended, Li Hao’s sword energy began to ripple and distort.
It wavered—as if it could no longer exist. Like a mortal facing an emperor, it lacked the courage to draw its blade. It could only tremble.
Li Hao himself shuddered under the force of that will. All his beliefs felt as if they’d been smashed in a single blow. His body, too, felt as though it were breaking apart. Even the flames burning on his divine soul wavered, nearly extinguished!
This was… the will of a Heavenly Lord!
Li Hao’s pupils contracted. He trembled.
He had once brushed against a Heavenly Lord’s will during his ultimate Immortal Ascension.
And precisely because he had, he understood just how vast and terrifying it was. Even the faintest trace could make mortals tremble in fear.
Before this will, even heaven and earth seemed insignificant.
That was why he had called it “Heavenly Lord”—the Sovereign of Heaven and Earth.
But now, the Heavenly Lord’s will before him was a hundred—no, a thousand times stronger than what he had once sensed. This thread of will that Hei Ji could channel was far beyond anything he had ever touched.
Once, he had borrowed that will to strike down enemies and avert crisis.
Now, that same power was being used to crush him.
Li Hao staggered backward.
His Heaven-Earth Immortal Body—his fusion of flesh and divine soul—could not withstand it. Even heaven and earth must bow before this will.
Thump. Thump. Thump!
He stumbled backward through the void.
Hei Ji’s dark power surged with the Heavenly Lord’s will. She had used this very method to nearly prevent Lin Zhexuan from even having time to surrender.
Now, she would use it to kill Li Hao—giving him no chance to admit defeat.
Her divine soul was burning too. Not as wildly as Li Hao’s, but dozens of her divine soul bones were ignited. The power granted her a terrifying level of control.
The void cracked. Everything touched by that dark force was consumed.
Li Hao kept retreating. The Heavenly Lord’s will bore down on him—so heavy, he could not lift his head, could not gather strength.
Was this how it ended? Would he die here?
And if he died… would she be next?
Gritting his teeth, Li Hao’s hair stood on end, flying wildly. He was shackled by invisible chains. He had only one way out—to go all in.
“So what if you’re a Heavenly Lord?! I… am Haotian Lord!!!”
He threw his head back and roared. Facing that supreme will, he did not beg for mercy—he roared to the heavens!
His shout echoed across the Demon Ancestor’s arena, reverberating over the skies of Gusu City. Heaven and earth trembled. The world shuddered.
The divine flames of his over one thousand soul bones blazed fiercely, as if doused in oil—exploding into a golden inferno that swallowed Li Hao whole.
Everyone watching was stunned. They felt their blood boil, their hearts tremble, their eyes go red.
That boy’s cry pierced through the entire imperial star.
To stand against the Heavenly Lord’s will—to burn in defiance in his darkest hour—it shook the world.
The black force collided with his blazing soul flames.
But then—unexpectedly—that supreme Heavenly Lord’s will suddenly receded.
Like the tide retreating, it withdrew from the fractured space, vanishing into the depths of heaven and earth—returning to that realm beyond ultimate Immortal Ascension.
“Huh?!”
Hei Ji’s expression changed drastically.
What was happening?
Suddenly, she could no longer sense the Heavenly Lord’s will. She could no longer command it.
It was as if some power had forcibly pushed it away!
As she stood stunned, her heart skipped a beat.
From the blazing divine flames, an indescribable aura emerged—majestic beyond words. Like a deity descending, noble and supreme.
Within the blaze, Li Hao’s figure reappeared, his whole body engulfed in divine soul fire.
And atop his burning divine soul, amidst the raging golden flames…
A single drop of shimmering, crimson blood appeared in the air—radiating endless truth and profoundness.
That was…
The blood of a True God!
The ultimate realm of the divine soul—True God’s Blood!
