As the rounds progressed and one duel after another concluded, it was finally the turn of Li Hao and Holy Son Xu Yuan to face off.

However, Holy Son Xu Yuan hadn’t shown any remarkable performance previously, and this match seemed predictable to the point that many believed the Saint Son, if sensible, would concede defeat right from the start.

Li Hao glanced at his opponent, actually worried about this very possibility.

Although he couldn’t take revenge here, he was determined to give his adversary a severe lesson, to plant a sword in his heart and sever his Dao Heart, so that in his future cultivation, and even at the mere sight of a sword, he would be reminded of Li Hao, and never be able to form the embryonic shape of the Saint Path for the rest of his life!

Following Li Hao’s entrance into the area, it wasn’t long before Holy Son Xu Yuan slowly walked onto the battlefield.

He looked at Li Hao with an indifferent expression, a cold, almost imperceptible smirk playing at the corner of his mouth.

Clearly, he had already taken note of Li Hao, knowing that the other was that monstrous young man from the Mortal World.

Li Hao had foiled his grand plans, and though hatred simmered in his heart, he was helpless to act upon it.

As the Array took shape and sealed the battlefield, Holy Son Xu Yuan didn’t concede defeat after all. On the contrary, the audience grew restless, with murmurs and jeers erupting.

“Who is this guy, really thinking of challenging Haotian?”

“Could it be he’s trying to make a name for himself? Utterly ridiculous!”

“Does he not realize his own limits? Even the direct disciples of the Supreme Saint aren’t a match for Haotian, how can he dare?”

“He probably wants to experience the Eternal Dao Domain, I guess he’ll last three seconds!”

Many mocking voices reached the ears of the disciples from the Void Holy Land, with many looking embarrassed and indignant, not understanding what Holy Son Xu Yuan was thinking—why he wouldn’t just concede defeat. Was he really trying to seek attention and engage in battle?

If he could only withstand a few breaths, it would be better to concede outright for a better appearance.

The voices outside the battlefield didn’t reach the inside, but Holy Son Xu Yuan, seeing the murderous intent in Li Hao’s eyes, revealed a sneer and said through telepathy:

“It’s a pity, had that Divine Dynasty not birthed a monster like you, I would have trampled it to dust by now. You thwarted my plans; you truly deserve death!”

This message was sent telepathically, without being exposed.

Li Hao’s eyes narrowed as he remembered the horrific scenes of Purgatory he witnessed while hurrying to the Imperial Capital, and a surge of killing intent arose within his heart.

At the same time, he sensed something wrong.

Unless his opponent was out of his mind, having once known to flee for his life, why wouldn’t he know to forfeit now? And even dare to provoke him instead!

“After this Pride of Heaven Battle ends, not even your master will be able to protect you!”

Li Hao replied with a telepathic message of his own.

Having said that, he couldn’t be bothered to waste anymore words with his opponent and promptly made his move, his Eternal Dao Domain pressing down.

Holy Son Xu Yuan too realized the danger and blurted out loudly, “Since there was no chance for a duel in the Mortal World, let me experience just how strong you really are!”

As he spoke, he suddenly erupted with Extreme Realm Power, executed Returning Ruin Instantaneous Movement, and charged fiercely towards Li Hao.

However, as Li Hao’s Eternal Dao Domain expanded outward, it instantly sealed off and cut through the Return Ruin path. His opponent could only teleport to the edge of the Dao Domain, unable to get close to Li Hao.

The moment he was trapped in the Dao Domain, he burst forth with Extreme Realm power and roared, attempting to strike with all his might.

But as the Eternal Dao Domain circulated, his opponent’s power was far too weak. Compared to direct disciples of the Supreme Saint, the disparity was immense; just the Eternal Dao Domain alone was enough to suppress him with ease.

Li Hao felt that his opponent’s power was even weaker than that of Haoyue Saint Son.

Such strength was only enough to be at the very bottom of the top hundred contenders.

But Li Hao didn’t plan to defeat his opponent outright; instead, he wanted to plant a sword scar in his heart.

Just as he was preparing to draw his sword, suddenly, Holy Son Xu Yuan’s eyes revealed a sneer. Though his body was immobilized by the Eternal Dao Domain, his eyes could still move, and another telepathic message reached Li Hao:

“Join me in death!”

The voice was vengeful and filled with madness.

Li Hao’s pupils constricted as he suddenly realized the reason for the unease.

Bang!

At that moment, Holy Son Xu Yuan tortured with pain, screamed in agony, and pleaded:

“Don’t… don’t kill me, even if we are enemies, I…”

Before he could finish speaking, his body explosively burst apart.

Not having reached the Seventh Extreme Realm, his body disintegrated and his Divine Soul perished, dying on the spot.

Only a wisp of soul thought soared out, being drawn toward a certain direction.

But high above the battlefield, the Void Saint’s eyes suddenly flew open with rage, he raised his hand and pulled the wisp of soul thought to himself, then glared furiously at Li Hao and roared:

“You scoundrel, how dare you kill my disciple in front of everyone!”

This roar of a Saint shook Saint Mountain, and through the Boundary Stone, resonated throughout the entire Heavenly Origin Realm!

This sudden twist stunned everyone; as many waited to see how the opponent would be miserably defeated, the unforeseen event was that he was abruptly killed within Li Hao’s Dao Domain!

At that moment, many faces turned pale.

Outside the arena, Feng Boping and Lie Sky Saint were both taken aback, also not expecting such a turn of events. But as Holy Son Xu Yuan’s body exploded, the two of them turned pale almost simultaneously.

As Li Hao heard the thunderous roar of the Void Saint reverberating, his head seemed to shake as if someone had struck him unexpectedly with a bat on the back of his skull, causing a short-lived dizziness.

But in an instant, his Eternal Dao Domain exuded True Force, suppressing the Saintly sound waves and recovering from the impact on his body.

He looked up, gazing directly at the face of the Void Saint, and as his eyes swept to the Buddha Venerate next to him, his previously calm eyes now also seemed to turn cold and full of killing intent.

Li Hao immediately understood why Holy Son Xu Yuan dared to step into the arena, with no intention to forfeit, still provoking him!
