The Name of Eternals

Chapter 208: Battling the Tai Ping Dao Domain

Inside the city.

Li Hao and Li Xiaoran, hiding their figures, saw the three figures suddenly rushing from the battlefield, their eyes cold. They immediately recognized the Torch Fire God and Lu Yuan chasing after them.

Yin Furen was also with them, meaning there was no one guarding the outside of the River of the Dead.

Indeed.

Leaving Yin Furen alone to guard wouldn't be enough to handle either Li Hao or Li Xiaoran.

"They've been watching us all the time…"

Li Xiaoran's gaze was as sharp as a knife. "This formation can't withstand the attacks of the Tai Ping Dao realm for long. We must act quickly. If you can't hold on, retreat immediately. Did you bring plenty of Saint Heart Talismans from the secret vault?"

"I brought them."

Li Hao nodded.

As the inheritor of the true dragon, apart from the ancestral weapons in the secret vault, there were many treasures passed down through the centuries, including many Saint Heart Talismans.

Such precious items were stacked thickly in the secret vault, showcasing the heritage of the Li family!

They also included some attack-type Saint Heart Talismans, which could pose a significant threat to the Dao Heart realm.

Li Hao wanted to test the might of the Torch Fire God's Dao Domain because he had many treasures from the Li family's secret vault to use at will. Here, his advantage was greater than outside.

After all, everything was born from Li Tianzong's obsession, so there was no need to feel distressed about consuming them.

"Kill!"

Li Hao suddenly rushed out. Although Feng Lao was not here this time, preventing him from learning the Heaven and Earth No Trace Technique, with his cultivation breaking through to the Three Immortals realm and his strength continuously refining and growing, the restriction of the rules had weakened. This allowed him to touch that seemingly elusive feeling when comprehending body techniques, making it not difficult to deduce the Heaven and Earth No Trace Technique himself.

Combining it with many supreme body techniques of the Li family, his speed was faster.

With the collections of several calligraphy and painting scrolls and music scores, his body technique also received enhancements. In a flash, he exploded at full speed, crossing dozens of miles like teleportation, appearing in front of the formation.

Boom! The Qing Shuang Sword in Li Hao's hand fiercely slashed out.

With a formation token on him, his attack penetrated the formation, striking the Torch Fire God.

The Torch Fire God did not expect Li Hao to pull a surprise attack, leaping out in an instant. His pupils contracted as he instinctively tried to dodge, but Li Hao's sword technique was at the sixth level, cutting through space directly. Although there was no Dao charm traction, relying purely on speed made it extremely difficult to evade.

A burst of scorching flames exploded. The Torch Fire God's Dao Domain had already unfolded. Seeing the sword light slashing into his Dao Domain, he was both shocked and furious. His eyes shot out a fierce killing intent.

Too arrogant!

Trying to counterattack him? He was in his Dao Domain state, a mere Three Immortals realm, who gave him such courage!

Boom! In the Dao Domain, divine fire erupted, the sword light shaking the heavens. The tremendous impact force vibrated the formation, causing ripples and countless divine patterns to flash rapidly, seemingly about to explode.

The collision of their attacks almost tore the formation apart!

The Torch Fire God's body staggered back a few steps, his pupils contracting, a trace of astonishment in his eyes.

In the Dao Domain, his martial way was the rule, the order!

The extreme fire way could burn everything. In the Dao Domain, everything could be destroyed and incinerated.

If he were on a battlefield, he only needed to extend his Dao Domain. Everything around him, be it the Sky Humans, Grandmasters, the Three Immortals, the Dao Heart realm, or the Absolute Study realm, would all turn to ashes, burning in an instant!

Only those with the opportunity of the Reverse Life could barely escape.

Even Li Hao's sword aura and divine weapon would melt in the extreme fire rule of the Dao Domain!

And indeed, Li Hao's sword aura melted, but in the process, its residual power forced him back! The power contained in that sword aura seemed capable of splitting a hundred mountains!

"What kind of divine power is this!"

The Torch Fire God was shocked. This was the first time he had been forced back in his Dao Domain, and it was by a mere Three Immortals realm?!

Looking again, he saw Li Hao, his whole body glowing with crimson gold, like a war god, exuding endless killing intent and fierce power.

In this River of the Dead, counting the accelerated time, it was eighteen years, but in reality, it was less than two months.

Li Hao was truly revealing his strength for the first time!

This terrifying divine power shocked everyone on the city wall, making them look at the young man in awe.

"Xiao Shi…"

Chen Hefang and other aunts like Li Qingling, who were also female generals, were astonished at the sight of the young figure.

It was unimaginable how strong and terrifying the boy had become.

Three Immortals realm?

At this moment, the power he released made them, who were also at the Three Immortals realm, feel their hearts tremble, as if they would be crushed instantly.

More frighteningly, Li Hao had forced back a supreme demon king of the Tai Ping Dao realm with a single sword, which was simply unbelievable!

Li Xiaoran, who had followed closely behind, was a step slower than Li Hao. He saw the scene and was stunned, his eyes wide in disbelief.

So this was Li Hao's confidence in testing the limits of the Tai Ping Dao realm?!

The Dao Domain was considered invincible, a consensus in martial ways, but now Li Hao had broken that myth!

"It seems that as long as the power is strong enough, even the rules of the Dao Domain may not suppress it quickly!"

Li Hao's eyes were cold. From that single sword, he had already probed the uniqueness of the Tai Ping Dao Domain.

Although the rules of the Dao Domain suppressed and annihilated everything that intruded, if the power was strong enough, it could barely persist.

Because suppression and annihilation required a bit of time.

Just a tiny bit of time, but the stronger the power, the longer this time could be extended! Thus.

The Dao Domain was not invincible!

Kill!

Li Hao slashed again, enhancing his divine power state and channeling the Heaven and Earth veins. He grabbed a handful of divine medicine and swallowed it, causing his aura to grow even more.

One advantage of practicing in the River of the Dead was the ability to consume divine medicine without restriction.

Without worrying about consequences, Li Hao could consume any divine medicine to enhance his power as much as possible in this limited time! After all, once he left the River of the Dead, everything would become void.

Boom! The second sword slashed like a raging tide, gathering countless sword intents and cutting down.

The Torch Fire God regained his senses, feeling enraged. It felt like an emperor being insulted by a commoner, making him feel humiliated.

His forehead glowed like a vertical eye, shooting out a scorching divine fire. With the Dao Domain's blessing, this divine fire seemed capable of burning everything, causing the space to appear to smoke and burn.

As the sword light slashed into the Dao Domain, it began to burn and melt rapidly. But the sword light seemed like a dry wood stick refined to the extreme. Its surface was burning, but the inside was firm, cutting through dozens of feet of the Dao Domain, finally colliding with the scorching divine fire, turning into a wisp of flame and dissipating.

Although it was just sword aura, it felt like a straw burning rapidly.

Li Hao's face changed slightly. The Dao Domain was indeed extraordinary. When the opponent seriously used the Dao Domain, the power was overwhelming. His sword aura could cause some threat, but it was very limited.

After all, the opponent's strength alone was enough to dominate the Absolute Study realm.

"This kid!"

Lu Yuan, catching up, saw Li Hao fighting the Torch Fire God without falling behind and was immensely shocked.

The opponent's growth rate made him fearful.

"Husband, I will help you!"

Yin Furen arrived, swinging her black moon like a scythe, slashing down.

But Li Hao stood within the formation, and the black crescent collided with it, causing ripples of divine patterns without breaking through.

Meanwhile, several figures from the city rushed over, sensing the presence of an Absolute Study realm demon king and intending to help Li Hao repel it.

Li Xiaoran also joined the battle, his blade slashing directly at the black moon, shattering the moonlight.

"A half-step Dao realm still needs help?!"

Li Xiaoran roared, slashing at Lu Yuan. His blade, slower than it seemed, cut through space, striking Lu Yuan's head.

Lu Yuan, having witnessed Li Xiaoran's terrifying blade technique before, was both shocked and angry. His body crackled with lightning, tearing the blade light apart, but he was still injured, his head bleeding profusely. "Damn it!"

Lu Yuan was furious, knowing that in a one-on-one fight, he might not be a match for Li Xiaoran.

"I will kill him myself!"

The Torch Fire God, hearing Li Xiaoran's roar, stopped his wife Yin Furen from assisting. His eyes burned with golden fire, staring at Li Hao:

"Do you dare to come out?"

Li Hao sneered, "Do you take me for a child?"

He slashed again, sending a series of sword lights.

Sword light continuously poured out, bombarding the opponent's domain. Each strike was extremely terrifying. If not for the domain, it could have slashed across hundreds of miles, cutting through mountains and splitting rivers.

But within the domain, the sword light burned fiercely after traveling just a few dozen feet, rapidly losing its power.

"You really think you can contend with me?"

The Torch Fire God was furious, almost finding it laughable. He no longer paid attention to Li Hao. Previously caught off guard, he was forced back by Li Hao in the domain. Now, with his power heavily infused into the domain, Li Hao's attacks couldn't touch him, being incinerated by the domain's rules.

"Wait until I break the formation and kill you!"

The Torch Fire God started to punch the formation wildly, trying to shatter it.

The older generation of the Li family's side branches furiously attacked, but as soon as their strikes entered the opponent's domain, they were incinerated, disappearing without a trace.

Seeing the sword aura rampaging within the domain, they deeply felt the terrifying power of this Li family direct descendant! "Heavenly Horizon Free Wanderer Blade!"

Li Xiaoran also unleashed his ultimate move. The blade light seemed to cut through the void, and a towering mountain peak's shadow faintly appeared over the locked-on Torch Fire God, as if about to suppress him.

That was the destination of the blade light.

But as soon as the shadow of the giant peak appeared, it was burned away, the blade light rapidly approaching but slowing down due to the burning blade intent. What would have arrived almost instantly was now traceable!

With a bang, the Torch Fire God raised his hand and slapped, releasing a vast scorching heat that shattered the blade intent.

His eyes were cold. Despite easily breaking Li Xiaoran's ultimate move, he did not feel satisfied, but rather ashamed.

These two from the Li family could both breach his domain. It was simply disgraceful! "Die!"

The fierce flame fist struck the formation, causing the divine patterns on the formation to smoke, as if melting.

Li Hao's pupils shrank. He continuously slashed his sword, channeling the veins of his entire body and drawing on the power of the surrounding heavens and earth, slashing with all his might.

His strength was now greater than outside because of the Myriad Blood True Demon Art, which had refined his body to an extreme, reaching the level of an eight-forge divine weapon.

Boom! The sword light struck the blazing, lava-like fist, the sword aura igniting, but only slightly reducing the flame.

Although Li Hao could attack the Torch Fire God within the domain, the power was still not enough due to the domain's suppression.

Other people's attacks were incinerated as soon as they entered the domain, leaving not even ashes.

"We can't hold on."

Li Xiaoran's face looked grim as he transmitted to Li Hao.

Li Hao's eyes turned colder. He took a deep breath, entering the Immortal Transformation realm.

The veins of heaven and earth acted like pumps, frantically absorbing the surrounding power. Li Hao's entire body's strength surged, his eyes shot out divine light, and his hair flew wildly.

He raised the Qing Shuang Sword, slashing once again. The sword light seemed to draw in the light of the heavens, condensing into an ultimate cold frost sword intent, and suddenly slashed out.

The cyan sword light shot out like a divine rainbow, instantly entering the domain, turning into burning sword light, but its speed didn't decrease, piercing straight toward the Torch Fire God.

The Torch Fire God's face changed slightly, the divine fire on his forehead shot out again, but was torn apart by the burning sword aura, which continued to kill.

The Torch Fire God was shocked and roared, punching out.

Boom! The flame fist shook, the sword light dissipated by the punch, but the terrifying power left a sword mark on the Torch Fire God's fist.

The Torch Fire God was injured!

"Husband!"

Yin Furen was horrified to see this.

The Tai Ping Dao Domain, actually injured by a mere Three Immortals realm?!

"You!"

The Torch Fire God's fist hurt, stunned that he was injured within the domain.

Li Hao's eyes shone with divine light, revealing even more intense killing intent. He seemed to have figured out the limit of the opponent's domain suppression.

At this moment, with thirty percent of his Immortal Transformation activated, combined with his refined body and the boost from various divine medicines, he could barely injure a Dao realm expert! "Damn you!"

The Torch Fire God was so furious that his entire body trembled. Golden flames spread from his eyes to his whole body, like a god bathed in fire. He and the crimson-gold Li Hao, separated by a formation, seemed like two divine beings about to clash! "I'll kill you!"

The Torch Fire God roared, punching the formation again.

But before his fist could land, the formation suddenly exploded.

Both Li Hao and the Torch Fire God were stunned. Li Hao's pupils contracted as he looked into the distance, seeing a young man in a tattered black robe standing in the eastern sky, calmly retracting his hand.

Obviously, this formation was destroyed by him.

"Tai Ping Dao realm!"

Li Xiaoran's pupils contracted, urgently transmitting to Li Hao: "Things have changed, we must go!"

"Finally willing to act, you damned dead soul!"

The Torch Fire God saw the robed youth, a trace of anger flashing in his eyes, but he quickly suppressed it.

The opponent was a genuine supreme demon king of the Tai Ping Dao realm.

Earlier, the Torch Fire God had patrolled with his Dao realm, encountering these terrifying auras hidden in the demon abyss, visiting them one by one, intending to unite them to break Dragon City.

Only two responded just now, while the others, whom he had previously agreed with, ignored his signal, seemingly disdainful.

Li Hao's face also changed. Without the formation, although he now had the strength to barely contend with the Torch Fire God, there was now another Tai Ping Dao realm! It was only the third day, and such a drastic change had occurred.

At this moment, Li Hao suddenly saw ancient characters formed from golden light before him, displaying a message from the River of the Dead: The main task has been changed: Defend Dragon City for one day.

The countdown has begun…

Seeing the characters jumping, the ancient characters for hour segments seemed to symbolize every second ticking.

Li Hao's face changed from the initial 3/10 of the defense time to now suddenly shortened to one day? Were the demons launching a full-scale attack ahead of schedule?

Seeing the Torch Fire God before him, Li Hao seemed to understand. Though angry, he knew this was the end.

Continuing to fight would put himself in danger and implicate Li Xiaoran.

"Go!"

Li Hao roared, slashing out seven or eight sword lights, targeting the Torch Fire God, Lu Yuan, and Yin Furen, covering Li Xiaoran's retreat.

Having seen Li Hao's terrifying body technique before, Li Xiaoran didn't hesitate. He quickly led the way, slashing out two ultimate moves while heading toward the God General Mansion.

But during the retreat, his mind remained focused on Li Hao. If Li Hao were in danger, he was prepared to sacrifice himself, burning his soul if necessary, to protect Li Hao! Li Hao was the hope of the Li family, the true hope of bringing his elder brother's spirit back!

"Argh…"

Suddenly, a ghastly, fierce roar came from the God General Mansion.

A figure emerged, shrouded in overwhelming black energy, like a demon, a ghostly evil spirit, with a hideous face, roaring and charging at the robed youth who had broken the formation.

"Elder brother…"

Li Xiaoran immediately recognized him as Li Tianzong.

Originally, after defending Dragon City for four days, once the city broke, he would transform, as if his obsession awakened, entering a state similar to madness.

But now, with the city breaking ahead of schedule, he had entered this state early.

Li Xiaoran's eyes filled with sorrow, knowing that defending Dragon City was his elder brother's final obsession before his death.
