The Name of Eternals

Chapter 234: I Will Forge My Own Sacred Bone

"No, the patriarch must be ready to stop them at any moment!" Ji Yunqing quickly said.

Ji Tianchao nodded slightly, already prepared to intervene at any time.

In the arena, as Ji Xuanshen's Dao Domain expanded, the bricks and stones in the arena began to shatter, crumbling under the pressure of the domain's laws.

His Dao Domain followed the law of fission, where anything within it would split, break, and ultimately disintegrate! Eventually, this Dao Domain covered half of the arena, stopping right in front of Li Hao:

"If you beg for mercy now and bow your head to me, I may spare your life. Otherwise, you will disappear in a single breath!" Ji Xuanshen said coldly.

"A single breath is enough!" Li Hao replied.

At this moment, he no longer held back, his eyes growing serious.

The Dao Domain was on the same level as the Candlefire God, but the Candlefire God was a ruler of the Taixu Realm, while the young prodigy before him was just a prodigy of the Ji family, showcasing the profound heritage of this ancient holy clan! "Enter the Qiankun Jade Belt!" Li Hao transmitted to the Blood Red Vine King on his wrist.

"Okay, but be careful, he's very formidable..." The Blood Red Vine King's tendrils seemed to caress Li Hao's wrist before quickly retreating into the opened Qiankun Jade Belt.

Within the Dao Domain, Li Hao himself could withstand it, but the Blood Red Vine King would be instantly shattered and killed.

After securing the Blood Red Vine King, Li Hao focused completely. He took a deep breath, his energy surging, and his body's meridians activated, inhaling and exhaling immortal energy, drawing in the energy of heaven and earth.

Transcendence!

Li Hao's aura suddenly skyrocketed, the crimson-gold light on his body becoming even more dazzling.

Streams of energy, like thick white smoke, continuously converged towards Li Hao's body, like rivers pouring into the sea, carrying a vast momentum.

"What is that?!"

"That looks like... the Meridian of Heaven and Earth?!"

"My god, that's the peak of the Zhou Tian Realm. He actually possesses the peak of the Zhou Tian Realm?!"

Seeing the tangible, silk-like energy, everyone was stunned.

As members of an ancient holy clan, they were knowledgeable enough to recognize this scene of the Meridian of Heaven and Earth being pushed to its extreme.

Even in the ancient holy clan, very few people could reach this second realm's peak.

"The Meridian of Heaven and Earth, he actually has it!"

"No wonder he doesn't need to rest and can keep fighting."

"My god, is he really a half-blood? Even if he practiced our Ji family's strongest Meridian Techniques and Qi Techniques, it wouldn't be enough to open all the major meridians, let alone the Yin-Yang double meridian!"

"Unless he practiced multiple Meridian Techniques in conjunction, reflecting off each other, to open all the major meridians completely. But the Yang Meridian is extremely dangerous, it's best to have the Reverse Fate power as a backup to try opening it, or else it's easy to perish!"

Everyone was shocked by Li Hao. Even practicing a single Meridian Technique to its peak couldn't open all 108 major meridians.

It required multiple, even a dozen Meridian Techniques reflecting off each other, but usually, prodigies didn't have that much time.

War gods like Ji Tianchao and a few elders, with many years of cultivation, completed this realm's peak.

This was also due to the Ji family having a wide variety of Meridian Techniques.

In other small tribes, even after hundreds of years of cultivation, elders might not condense the Meridian of Heaven and Earth. Every family guarded their techniques like treasures, often fighting to the death over them, as they were essential for establishing their clans.

"That child actually cultivated the Meridian of Heaven and Earth, opening two extreme realms!"

Ji Yun Yue and others were also shocked. No wonder Li Hao previously claimed he could challenge everyone below the Dao Realm in one go. With his body refined like a divine weapon, combined with the Meridian of Heaven and Earth, he was indeed invincible below the Dao Realm! "He's not arrogant, he knows what he's doing. If he's challenging the Dao Realm now, could it be that he has other trump cards?"

"That's right, being able to push the Meridian of Heaven and Earth to such an extent that even those in the Spirit Wandering Realm can see it means his current technique requires an extremely terrifying amount of energy..."

Ji Tianchao stared intently at the boy, his face more serious than ever, his whole body like a restrained thunderbolt, ready to strike at any moment.

"He might... have mastered three extreme realms!"

Hearing Ji Tianchao's words, Ji Yunqing and the others were stunned, then their faces changed in shock.

Three extreme realms?

They knew what it meant to master three extreme realms.

In the sky, Ji Qingshuang and the other prodigies who had not yet acted were also shaken by this scene, finally realizing the vast gap between them and this boy.

The Meridian of Heaven and Earth, among all the Ji family's prodigies, only one had mastered it.

That was Ji Xuanshen.

At this moment, in the arena, Ji Xuanshen saw the ribbon-like energy surrounding Li Hao, and a strange light appeared in his cold eyes:

"You also have the Meridian of Heaven and Earth?"

He didn't expect that this half-blood boy had already caught up with him in cultivation.

Except for not having a Sacred Bone and cultivation, there wasn't much difference!

And he was older than Li Hao. Given time, this boy would become what he is today.

"It seems you do have the capital to be arrogant, but unfortunately, I wasn't as arrogant as you when I was young. You will perish!"

He no longer held back, pushing his Dao Domain forward.

"In the Dao Domain, even the extreme realms are futile. Everything will be severed. This is my domain!"

Ji Xuanshen's aura surged, and he did not use the Meridian of Heaven and Earth. He could easily suppress everything with just his Dao Domain.

The power of the Dao Domain, even prodigies couldn't reverse. Most prodigies in the Absolute Art Realm couldn't face the Peaceful Dao Realm.

After all, those who could achieve the Peaceful Dao Realm were also top prodigies in their youth.

Feeling the pressure of the Dao Domain coming, the surrounding energy of heaven and earth seemed to be cut off. Li Hao took a deep breath, retreated rapidly, and directly entered 50% Transcendence! The vast energy instantly condensed into his body, and the Meridian of Heaven and Earth operated to its peak. Around Li Hao's body, like threads of spiritual energy, they converged towards his body.

Li Hao's flesh and blood cracked but healed again. In the divine power state, his healing speed surpassed the disintegration, appearing only slightly gold-blooded.

Li Hao's eyes widened, and seeing the Dao Domain about to cover the entire arena, he suddenly exploded and charged towards the opponent.

"He entered the Dao Domain!"

Seeing Li Hao finally covered by the Dao Domain, everyone's hearts were in their throats.

The power of the Dao Domain was unbeatable! Just when everyone thought Li Hao's body would be suppressed and destroyed by the Dao Domain in an instant, a horrifying scene occurred.

Li Hao, under Ji Xuanshen's Dao Domain, strode forward, his body moving as fast as a shooting star.

The rule suppression of the Dao Domain had little effect on his body! "What?!"

The boy shattered the legend, making everyone widen their eyes in disbelief.

Ji Xuanshen was also taken aback, never expecting Li Hao to move freely in his Dao Domain and attack him.

Knowing Li Hao's body was strong, he didn't expect it to withstand the Dao Domain. Wasn't this approaching the level of a sacred treasure?

"This is your confidence?!"

Ji Xuanshen's eyes flashed with cold light, suddenly striking with a palm.

His hand, like a purple-black lightning, pushed out with boundless momentum, combined with the Dao Domain.

"Break!!"

Li Hao roared, punching out with Transcendence's violent force, shattering the purple-black lightning palm!

He seemed to step through a wall, passing through, letting the purple lightning burn his body without care, charging at Ji Xuanshen at full speed.

Vast power condensed at his fist, striking out suddenly.

The rules within the Dao Domain seemed to avoid this punch slightly. The fission force continuously wore down the punch, but the punch was too terrifying. Even though it was worn down by half in an instant, it still hit Ji Xuanshen's chest like a meteor.

Ji Xuanshen raised his hand to block, but the immense force of Transcendence exceeded his arm's limit. His hand was driven into his own chest, breaking bones, collapsing his chest, and sending him flying!

The punch dissipated, and the whole arena fell silent.

Not only the people outside, even Ji Daoxin and Ji Tianchao, who were ready to rescue at any moment, were stunned, a bit surprised.

In the Dao Domain, the boy actually punched a Dao Realm flying!

This scene shattered their worldviews, breaking their understanding.

Everyone from the Ji family outside was shocked, their eyes deeply imprinted with the invincible punch's power, like a god.

A single person, fighting the prodigies alone, like an undefeated war god! Boom! Li Hao's foot stomped on the ground, suddenly exploding. The Dao Domain constantly tore at his body, but his healing ability was too strong, tearing through the Dao Domain.

But over time, he would only become weaker, so he had to finish the battle quickly!

As Li Hao erupted like a golden thunderbolt and launched his attack, Ji Xuanshen, who had been thrown down and was spitting golden blood, quickly took advantage of the momentum to stand up.

Sliding his feet backward, he saw the rapidly approaching youth, his eyes filled with shock and anger.

He, a master of the Peaceful Dao Realm, was actually injured by someone in the Three Immortals Realm—unforgivable! "Kneel before me!!" Ji Xuanshen roared, his voice filled with murderous intent and genuine anger. His whole body turned crimson-gold, his aura skyrocketing, as the energy of the four directions gathered, rapidly healing his internal injuries.

Simultaneously, this energy surged into the Dao Domain, instantly intensifying the power of its laws, intending to flay Li Hao alive and break his body.

Under the sudden and intense increase of the fission rule, Li Hao's flesh began to tear, showing wounds.

Li Hao didn't hesitate, directly activating the attributes of the Supreme Body, briefly entering a state of Supreme Void.

Even within the Dao Domain, his body seemed to blur momentarily, becoming elusive.

But only for a moment, Li Hao suddenly ascended.

The Dao Domain covered the arena, but not too high above.

Leaping out of the Dao Domain, Li Hao's Transcendence power burst forth again, simultaneously activating his Unyielding Force!

He aimed to use his peak state to defeat the opponent in one go!

"Transcendence, eighty percent!"

Li Hao's eyes turned crimson-gold, with golden blood spraying from his eyes. His flesh began to crack continuously! The Meridian of Heaven and Earth spread out like a spider web, forcibly drawing in the energy of heaven and earth from all around. The absorption speed was astonishing, and in the blink of an eye, before Ji Xuanshen could react, Transcendence was completed.

"Again!"

Li Hao roared, pushing closer to the limit, raising it by another five percent! His flesh tore apart, and without the Unyielding Force, his skin and flesh would have already peeled off!

Reaching ninety percent, with Li Hao's current control, there would be no turning back.

He could only try to get as close to the limit as possible.

A thunderous vibration surged through his body, like ten thousand bolts of lightning roaring in his veins.

The terrifying pressure shook the entire arena, like a blazing sun illuminating the whole sacred mountain.

Countless members of the Ji family looked up, their pupils shaking as they were struck by the overwhelming presence emanating from the boy, rendering their facial features uncontrollable.

"What is that?!"

At that moment, the dazzling light, like a distant divine sun, seemed to descend over the Ji family's sacred mountain.

It stood radiantly, exuding boundless might and brilliant golden light.

In the Dao Domain, Ji Xuanshen drew all the power of the earth, soaring into the sky, but in the blink of an eye, he saw the dazzling divine might condensing around the boy, as if a true god had descended! His pupils contracted, his eyes focusing, unable to directly gaze at the boy's figure, who was completely shrouded in brilliant divine power, making him impossible to spy upon.

His eyes contracted, but soon anger replaced his surprise. He roared up at the sky: "Even if you were a god, I would still cut you down!!"

He raised his hand, and a divine sword appeared from his space, falling into his palm, bringing up boundless sword energy, condensing the power of his Dao Domain, and slashing upwards! In the mid-air brilliance, Li Hao was engulfed in divine flames, his blood boiling. His flesh was falling apart, but his fist clenched tightly, taking a step forward against the ascending sword light.

Boom!!

The violent momentum, the invincible fist power, was like the wrath of a god descending, aiming to shatter the entire sacred mountain!! The extreme sword light clashed with the fist intent in mid-air, the Dao Domain covering it, the fission rule rapidly eroding, but the clash happened in an instant.

Immediately, the brilliant divine light radiated out, causing the onlookers to feel a sharp pain in their eyes, like needles pricking them, making them instinctively shut tight.

When they reopened their eyes, they saw the sword light, which seemed to open the heavens, had broken. The ascending figure was suppressed by a violent, beast-like force, crashing down like a golden pillar, deeply embedding into the arena! The entire arena shattered, forming a large pit, but the impact area was contained by Ji Daoxin's barrier, not extending outside.

The arena vanished, revealing a conical pit.

In mid-air, a crimson-golden figure, drenched in blood, stood tall.

His flesh was torn, with white bones showing on his arms and fists, and several ribs protruding from the melting flesh on his chest, looking extremely terrifying.

But his posture was upright, like a youthful war god, standing there with his hair flying.

Even the noisy wind around him seemed to turn gentle, not daring to disturb.

It was as if pitying the boy's fierce struggle, gently touching, healing his wounds.

This scene rendered the countless onlookers outside speechless.

The boy had shattered the legend, defeating all the Ji family's prodigies and suppressing the Dao Domain! Ji Tianchao and Ji Yunqing were dumbfounded, staring at the boy in mid-air. Despite his severe injuries, nearly at death's door, there was no doubt he had paid a great price but had also defeated Ji Xuanshen!

At that moment, they recalled Ji Yun Ge's words, finally understanding why, before his death, with such deep obsession, he still urged them to take care of this boy.

Despite never enjoying any of the Ji family's resources, this boy was more outstanding than any of the Ji family's prodigies!

The numerous prodigies who had previously fallen to Li Hao were also dumbfounded.

Ji Xuanshen, the unattainable strongest prodigy, hovering over them like a mountain, was defeated by this boy?

In the brief silence, the ground suddenly shook.

Everyone was startled, their eyes turning to see a figure suddenly rushing out from the conical pit.

It was Ji Xuanshen.

At this moment, his treasured clothes were shattered, his divine armor cracked, covered in blood, and his neatly arranged hair was disheveled, looking miserable.

But Ji Xuanshen's eyes were like two golden stars, filled with a soul-piercing rage amidst his scattered hair.

"Is this your limit?"

Ji Xuanshen seemed to grit his teeth, his voice cold. Since his fight for the strongest prodigy, he had never been so injured, so humiliated.

Li Hao's flesh was slowly healing, controlling the Transcendence power, unable to speak.

Waves of tearing pain spread throughout his body, his eyes focused on the opponent. This prodigy of the Peaceful Dao Realm was likely more challenging than the Candlefire God.

"If not for me, you might really have won the Dao Seed, but with me here, I am the insurmountable mountain!"

Ji Xuanshen's body, from his chest to his abdomen, suddenly emitted a dazzling light.

It was a brilliant silver light, seemingly piercing through heaven and earth, shining through his flesh, which couldn't conceal the silver radiance.

"But you lack the Sacred Bone. I originally intended to suppress you with just the Dao Domain. Forcing me to use the Sacred Bone, your death will be worthwhile!"

Ji Xuanshen stared at Li Hao, his eyes filled with anger. Even if he won this battle, it would be a disgrace. If he lost, his Dao heart would shatter, and he would be even more humiliated.

"It's the Sacred Bone!"

"Ji Xuanshen is using the power of the Sacred Bone!"

"Indeed, this is Ji Xuanshen's real trump card!"

The onlookers saw the silver radiance from Ji Xuanshen's body, their eyes filled with shock. Forcing Ji Xuanshen to this extent, even if the boy lost, it wouldn't be shameful!

A transcendental force gathered from heaven and earth, converging into Ji Xuanshen.

Ji Xuanshen's aura became mystical and majestic, his hair flying, eyes crimson-gold and icy, staring at Li Hao:

"Without the Sacred Bone, even if you get the Dao Seed, you will be replaced in the future. Suppress!"

With one word, the Sacred Bone within him emitted endless radiance, imbued with a certain rule. As soon as the word fell, an indescribable force pressed down on Li Hao.

Li Hao's pupils contracted, feeling as if a heavy blow landed on his skull, trying to press his head and suppress him into the ground.

He couldn't sense the power or any technique—it felt like a certain Dao, a certain rule!

This…was close to a saint's power!

Li Hao's healing wounds cracked open again, his body falling, but he gritted his teeth, stopping the fall.

The price of stopping was his torn wounds splitting further, turning him into a figure of blood! Li Hao slowly raised his head, looking at the high-above Ji Xuanshen, those icy, superior golden eyes.

"You still want to resist the saint's power?"

The silver light from Ji Xuanshen's abdomen shone brilliantly, a bone emitting silver radiance that even his flesh couldn't conceal! Like ten thousand mountains pressing on his back and head, this force was stronger than the Dao Domain, but Li Hao knew that once suppressed, he would never rise again! His flesh surged, releasing an overwhelming aura.

The power of Transcendence surged rapidly once more, erupting with the previous momentum.

However, this time, his body had not yet healed, and reaching such an extreme state again caused his flesh, as strong as divine iron, to start falling apart like rotten meat.

"Ahhh!!"

Li Hao roared to the sky, his hair standing on end, his entire body's flesh completely breaking apart, exposing the brilliant crimson-gold bones in many places.

But this full-force eruption still did not budge the vast, indescribable force pressing down on him.

"Useless! You are merely a half-blood. Without the Sacred Bone inherited from my Ji family ancestors, all under the saints are mere ants!" Ji Xuanshen said coldly.

"Just a Sacred Bone? You think you can suppress me with that?!"

Li Hao roared to the heavens, "I don't need to inherit a Sacred Bone. One day, I will forge my own Sacred Bone!!"

The boy's roar shook the entire mountain.

At the same time, a majestic, enormous Heavenly Dharma Manifestation appeared behind Li Hao.

The colossal manifestation seemed to emit a silent roar, rapidly operating the Meridian of Heaven and Earth, absorbing the heavenly energy from the mountain peak, and then emanating a blazing wave of energy.

Li Hao and the Dharma Manifestation punched out simultaneously, aiming at Ji Xuanshen in the sky!

The fist of the Dharma Manifestation fell like a true meteor, its gigantic shadow instantly covering the entire Tian Dao Mountain.

"That is... the third extreme realm, the Heavenly Dharma Manifestation!!"

The towering, god-like figure of the Dharma Manifestation cast its shadow over the faces of everyone on Tian Dao Mountain.
