Follow the path of Dao from infancy

They found the Void Demons and swiftly began to hunt them. These demons were extremely tricky to handle within their realm, considered to be very powerful creatures that even the Dragon Clan could only just contend with.

They were killing with gusto, when suddenly, a loud roar erupted from among the Void Demons, the sound reverberating through the air.

Lin Baichuan sensed something but was fearless. Squinting his eyes, he looked on as the ground suddenly started trembling, and out of the holes in the far-off ground, a large number of Void Demons emerged.

Their bodies resembled reptiles, bathed in a deep blue with flashes of lightning, hundreds and thousands gathered and approached.

"Not good, it's a Void Tide!"

Chu Hanwei's face changed slightly.

"Overwhelming numbers won't work here." Another Saint Heir sneered confidently.

Just then, the lightning on the bodies of those Void Demons began to converge with each other, and suddenly, a turbulent blue light burst forth, striking the surroundings.

That Saint Heir couldn't avoid it in time and was struck, his body bursting with blood as his skin was torn to shreds, Void power eroding and tearing through his flesh.

"Save me!"

He screamed out desperately.

But his face split open, his body shattered; if not for his secret technique barely keeping him alive, he would have perished on the spot.

"Corridor of Marvels Technique!"

Lin Baichuan's expression changed, and he suddenly deployed a top-tier Divine Skill to reverse the Void power inside the other's body, relocating it to the outside. The saved man hurriedly used Unwithering Strength to heal himself and quickly dodged away.

"Run fast, there are too many of them, they will join forces to release the Void Tide. Once touched, it's either death or injury!"

Chu Hanwei evidently had experience and urgently warned.

They quickly soared into the sky, using Returning Ruin Instantaneous Movement to rapidly dodge to another location.

The many Void Demons, unable to find their figures, let out furious roars but suddenly charged off into the distance.

Lin Baichuan and the others appeared in the high skies elsewhere, watching the ground shake and the swarm of Void Demons running far away, they couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

They hadn't expected that these demons, when gathered together, would be so formidable.

"Many thanks, Brother Lin." The previously saved Saint Heir couldn't help but say to Lin Baichuan.

Lin Baichuan shook his head and looked at the cave where the demons had emerged, saying, "These demons have crawled out, we can't tell what's inside. Who dares to go look with me?"

Hearing his words, several people showed hesitation.

Although they were Heavenly Prides, they were not recklessly brave; they were confident, but having just experienced danger, this demon worm cave was bound to be perilous.

"Wait, that group of Void Demons seems to be running towards Lihe Valley."

Chu Hanwei stared at the far-off Void Demons, her expression changing slightly.

Lin Baichuan and the others were momentarily stunned, showing little reaction, but Lin Baichuan understood what Chu Hanwei meant, his expression shifting as he looked intently and said:

"That kid should have gone elsewhere by now, there's no way he's still there."

"It's been so long, that person must have gone to search elsewhere."

The others caught on and immediately nodded.

Chu Hanwei heard them and breathed a sigh of relief, thinking to herself that they were right, after so much time, even if the other party was walking, they would have left Lihe Valley by now.

"Let's not worry about that place, who wants to come down to this cave with me?"

Lin Baichuan withdrew his gaze and said to the few.

Chu Hanwei said, "I'll go with you to take a look."

"Good."

Lin Baichuan smiled.

Seeing the two of them going, the others felt a bit helpless but could only accompany them, with a flicker of intrigue in their hearts.

As they were headed for the Void Worm Cave, atop the peak of Lihe Valley, Li Hao, who had been pondering his next move in the Chess Box, suddenly felt the seat underneath him vibrate.

He came to his senses and looked into the distance, only to see a horde of demons charging towards him.

Hongyue also saw them, her face immediately turning pale.

"Young Master!"

She called out urgently.

Li Hao glanced at the approaching swarm of demons, noting their significant numbers and that they were all beings of the Tao Comprehension Realm. He was inwardly surprised; the cultivation of the demons in the All Heavens Battlefield was remarkably high.

Was it because of the harsh conditions here?

Li Hao didn't think further, seeing Hongyue panic, he quickly reassured her, "Don't worry, don't lose your train of thought."

"..."

Hongyue was speechless upon seeing that Li Hao was still worried her chess playing might be affected.

But what followed was a shocking sight.

The chess piece that the young man was twirling in his hand, on which he had been pondering where to place, suddenly burst into light and flew out, turning into a streak of radiance.

The piece darted through the void like a glimmer of firefly light, plunging into the mass of Demons, and like threading a needle, it weaved through the bodies of the Demons.

Bang, bang, bang!

All of the Demons' bodies exploded, the spots the piece traveled through shattered as if hammered, booming with bursts.

The will of the Only Me Swordsmanship imbued in the piece effortlessly cut through the Dao Domains of those Demons, severing the Void Laws they had condensed, wreaking slaughter.

With the chess piece gone from his hand, Li Hao picked up another from the Chess Box, finally following his prior line of thought, placing it at the tail end of his opponent's white dragon piece.

"It's your turn."

Li Hao reminded her.

Hongyue, looking at the distant Battlefield, became lost in thought, her mouth agape with disbelief.

Those charging Demons, under the trail of that streak of light, seemed to trip over a tripwire, tumbling and falling, their bodies bursting.

In a blink of an eye, almost the entire force was wiped out.

Hearing the reminder, Hongyue turned around and saw the tranquil young man whose gaze was fixed on the chessboard, who did not even glance at the Demons, her eyes revealing shock.

After a brief stupor, she came to her senses, recollecting her spirit, and thought to herself that this was the Unwithering Strength comparable to those of the Saint Heirs, too terrifying!

Her mind was in turmoil as she gazed upon the chessboard before her.

Li Hao saw that Hongyue had not made her move for a while and sighed softly, she was indeed affected after all.

He did not urge her; they were halfway through the game, and it would be a pity to start over and waste all that Experience.

He looked into the distance; the chess pieces moved with his thoughts, piercing the last Void Demon, the power within the piece retracted, and the piece itself turned to dust, dissipating in the wind.

While waiting for Hongyue to regain her composure, Li Hao extended his Divine Thought, looking beyond the Demons.

These Demons are peculiar, could someone have deliberately brought them here?

When Li Hao investigated, he found no trace and shook his head slightly, choosing to ignore it.

Hongyue tried to concentrate on chess playing, but the latter half of the game was forced, and she eventually lost to Li Hao.

Li Hao asked her to rest, while he himself fully absorbed the resentment from the slaughter.

As the resentment from the slaughter gathered, Li Hao seemed to hear the wailing of ghosts and howls of wolves by his ear, his expression resolute and unyielding, calming that resentment.

As the resentment accumulated, Li Hao felt his body filling up, as if a core was forming in his Divine Blood, making it more potent.

While absorbing and refining, Li Hao observed this All Heavens Battlefield, finding its scenery truly beautiful.

The All Heavens Stars, like countless rays of Divine Light, shone upon the Battlefield.

"It surpasses any beauty in the Mortal World."

Li Hao couldn't help but exclaim.

Hearing Li Hao's words, Hongyue curiously looked at him; she had encountered many Heavenly Prides, but most of them were only focused on Cultivation, never like this young man before her, sparing such casual interest in things beyond themselves.

Li Hao released Xiyan from the Heaven and Earth Space, to share such a beautiful scene together.

"Where is this?"

Xiyan transformed into a little girl in a red dress, curiously looking around.

"The All Heavens Battlefield," Li Hao said with a smile.

"The sky is so beautiful."

Xiyan couldn't help but exclaim, her eyes sparkling with light.

Li Hao smiled. He had promised to show her all the beauty of the Mortal World, and now that they weren't in the Mortal World, they could only take in the sights above.

Xiyan stayed by Li Hao's side, looking around lively and excited.

Meanwhile, Li Hao continuously absorbed the resentment, and as it piled up more and more, after his arms and limbs filled with Divine Blood, the remaining resentment gathered at his chest.

But at this point, Li Hao suddenly felt resistance, as the barrier in his body that shone like Incense Fire was actually blocking the gathering of the resentful killing energy.

Li Hao suddenly recalled Feng's words, the dual Saints cannot merge, so this was the reason?

Li Hao's eyes shifted slightly, surprised that there was indeed an impediment, and so soon.

"Incense Fire is the power of wishes, while the resentment from slaughter is Extreme Destruction; two utterly opposed forces, they can't coexist and repel each other."

Li Hao's gaze flickered, sensing these two forces as the positive and negative poles of a magnetic field.

No wonder they couldn't be cultivated together.
