Follow the path of Dao from infancy

Chapter 1151: Chapter 241: Incense Fire Divine Realm_2

With a casual wave, he effortlessly dissolved Li Hao’s full-force attack.

Li Hao became more alarmed as the battle went on; the fivefold difference made him feel like a mayfly trying to shake a tree. Even the enhancement of his Body Path to the Tenth Stage couldn’t bring a qualitative change. The opponent’s Primordial Spirit was strong enough to detect his movement technique, unraveling all his attacks and having enough time to parry them.

Fortunately, this projection was vastly different from the first layer; it didn’t have a strong offensive desire and instead seemed to have a consciousness of its own.

Seeing all his attacks dismantled, Li Hao’s subtle arrangements were nearing completion. Finally, as the Qiankun Chessboard was set, a determination flashed in Li Hao’s eyes—success or failure hinged on this!

Boom!

He suddenly left an intentional opening, slashing out with a sword that seemed off-balance, too close to the opponent.

This was the best opportunity to strike, and attacking would surely result in weakened defense.

Yet, the projection merely watched Li Hao with an amused gaze, making no move to attack.

Li Hao’s scalp prickled under that gaze, and his heart sank, but he didn’t give up. He attacked again, leaving an opening to test it out.

This time, the projection swung its sword violently, cutting at the moment Li Hao’s flaw was exposed.

Li Hao’s eyes brightened instantly, and the Qiankun Chessboard around him activated at once. The hidden threads in the void, Sword Qi, manifest in an instant, converging with the light from his sword, unleashing a force several times his own, fiercely slashing toward the projection.

The dazzling sword light illuminated even Li Hao’s own eyes.

But at the same moment, an even more brilliant gleam overshadowed Li Hao’s Sword Qi.

In the void, Sword Qi suddenly appeared, converging into the projection’s hands, merging into an even sharper sword beam, falling down as if penetrating the heavens and the earth.

Li Hao’s footsteps froze in mid-air, his expression slightly dazed, then deeply contracted.

Is this, too, the Qiankun Chessboard?

The exact same move, arrangement, all perfectly replicated!

Moreover, the opponent’s power was stronger and more terrifying!

Li Hao suddenly realized that earlier, when the opponent casually swung out Sword Qi to block his attack, that arrangement had been laid out with the Sword Qi from then?

The opponent utilized the Fishing hidden threads technique, which even Li Hao couldn’t detect, and in terms of laying traps, seemed to be five times more skilled than him!

As the dazzling sword light approached, at the brink of life and death, Li Hao seemed to have a sudden epiphany, his eyes explosively flashing with light. He pushed his movement technique to the extreme, combining it with Returning Ruins to alternate continuously. Within an instant, he left a shadow behind and fled ten thousand miles away.

The extreme movement in that instant exceeded Li Hao’s limits. When he evaded the range of that sword light and came back to his senses, he could hardly believe he had managed to dodge that strike.

He panted heavily. Although the All Heavens Star Vein provided him with continuous power, he still felt soaked in cold sweat, and mentally exhausted.

The projection’s Sword Qi severed the mountains below, slicing the earth apart, accompanied by the thunderous roar as rivers and lakes flooded backward, forming a magnificent scene.

Missing the strike, the projection looked slightly surprised, glanced at Li Hao, and then attacked again.

Li Hao quickly dodged. At this point, the projection’s attacks became increasingly fierce, its attack frequency continuously increasing and accelerating, making it more difficult for Li Hao to evade.

The Body Path Tenth Stage could barely surpass the opponent’s movement technique, but a slight misstep would mean instant death!

In such a frantic flight, Li Hao didn’t even have time to set up another arrangement.

Is this the oppression brought by a fivefold gap, not allowing any chance to breathe!

Li Hao’s heart pounded heavily; using the Body Path Tenth Stage and Qiankun Chessboard hadn’t succeeded in killing it. Could anyone complete such a challenge?

Li Hao thought of Elder Wang, thought of the solitary figure in the lush fields, his eyes flickered continuously. As he fled, because his movement was too fast, he left numerous shadows behind, but all shattered under the projection’s relentless pursuit.

A mirage…Li Hao’s eyes wavered slightly.

Illusion, reality…

He seemed to vaguely catch onto something as many traces of ink appeared in his mind.

Painting emphasizes the integration of form and meaning, with meaning as the illusion and form as reality.

Usually, a master-level painter could already grasp this perfectly, not to mention that Li Hao had long since Entered Dao with his painting.

But at this moment, he sensed another layer of meaning from this illusion and reality.

Suddenly, a chilling Sword Intent brushed against his back, making Li Hao snap back to reality. Seeing the sword light approaching, he hurriedly swung his sword to block.

Boom, his arm shook, as if struck by ten thousand mountains, his body flew back like a reed.

Smashing through over a dozen mountain peaks, Li Hao barely steadied himself, his body drenched in blood, but the Divine Blood state vastly increased his healing power, and his wounds quickly healed.

By this time, the projection was already near.

A gentle breeze flicked its robes, fluttering lightly, and it looked down at Li Hao like a Heavenly God. Then, it raised its hand again, gathering a dazzling Swordsmanship, the Immortal’s Guide.

That sword descended from the sky like a finger lightly touching the earth.

The Sacrificial Dao tribulation clouds above dispersed in the brilliance of the Sword Light, as if sliced apart and shattered.

Li Hao’s gaze turned blurry, a bitter smile appeared at the corners of his mouth, knowing that this challenge was about to fail.

Moreover, with this failure, the next challenge would be even harder because when the projection emerged, it would also be at the Body Path Tenth Stage.

“This Immortal Emperor’s trial is truly perverse…”

Li Hao muttered to himself.

He looked up to meet this sword, as a fierce wind rushed in, as if his body was about to be crushed.
