Chapter 279: Chapter 46: The Infamous Youth (Supplementary Updates 24, 25)_4
Feng Shan Jun was momentarily taken aback, not expecting so many Demon Kings to have gathered here.
Feeling a mix of surprise and regret, he thought to himself that had he known that brat to be so terrifying, he would have waited instead of facing him alone and wasting the precious opportunity to defy fate.
But this thought flashed through his mind without lingering, as it was too shameful to consider.
As a Demon King, not being able to take down this youth on his own was a disgrace.
"Kill!"
He did not waste any more words and simply gave the command.
The Heaven-Devouring Demon Ancestor and the Ten Thousand Caverns Ghost Mother also refrained from idle talk and charged toward Li Hao.
Monarch Bai, noting the situation, made a move toward the concealed individuals in the Four Stands Realm, pressing them to reveal themselves.
Now, with three Demon Kings attacking the youth, unless another being of the Four Stands Realm came to his aid, no one could save him.
Overwhelming Demonic Qi obscured the sky as chilling ghostly winds howled. The Heaven-Devouring Demon Clan brought forth an ancient bronze mirror, reflecting Li Hao\'s image, and from the mirror, an identical figure to Li Hao emerged, rushing toward him.
Li Hao\'s hair fluttered wildly as he stepped forth as if ascending the heavens, his presence overwhelming.
At this moment, the Immortal Qi within him erupted with full force, drawing upon the Power of Heaven and Earth, as the powers of all ten directions converged upon him.
Simultaneously, his physical body unlocked the power of the Extreme Realm, turning his flesh and blood to Red Gold and his hair transformed to gold, rendering him an imposing golden deity!
Majestic and terrifying power surged torrentially from within his body.
It wasn\'t just his power that was rapidly increasing, but also his physical defense and the speed of his thought processes were enhanced in all aspects.
Confronting the approaching shadow from the mirror, Li Hao neither dodged nor avoided, but struck out fiercely with his fist.
The golden fist seemed to puncture the heavens, and as the shadow raised its sword in fury, a single punch shattered both the sword light and pierced through the phantom!
"How is this possible?!"
The Heaven-Devouring Demon Ancestor was stunned, showing an expression of shock. His ancient treasure was capable of reflecting a demonic body of the same realm as the original, which allowed him to easily suppress those of the same realm, a truly dreadful artifact.
Yet, the demonic body it reflected was defeated by a single punch from the youth\'s true form?
He did not realize that while the ancient treasure could reflect a demonic body, it could not mirror the power of the Extreme Realm!
Li Hao at this moment, bolstered by the power of the Extreme Realm, had his physique enhanced and absorbed Power of Heaven and Earth exponentially, greatly increasing his overall strength.
Breaking through the demonic body, Li Hao\'s arms erupted with Divine Power, slashing his sword towards the numerous ghostly shadows cast into the void.
"Yanluo Ghost Sprites, kill!"
The Ten Thousand Caverns Ghost Mother, with blue veins surfacing on her cheeks as if exerting tremendous effort, unleashed countless ghost shadows from her sleeves, covering heaven and earth as if turning the area into the realm of the dead.
These layered ghost shadows could easily drain the power of their enemies under their cover.
However, at this moment, a resonant sword light with the roar of a dragon burst forth, leaving the ghostly shadows to howl in anguish under its divine radiance. They were instantly pierced through.
A single sword cleared the sky of all the ghostly shadows!
"No more than this!"
Li Hao laughed heartily, his sword moving to strike, with a single step, space between heaven and earth compressed beneath his feet as distance instantly shortened.
As he approached the Ten Thousand Caverns Ghost Mother, a torrent of Sword Qi slashed out like waves from the sea, emerging from the fabric of the world, then turned into roaring sword dragons.
The gathering ghost shadows were annihilated the moment they encountered the sword dragons.
Among them, countless sword shadows rained down upon the Ten Thousand Caverns Ghost Mother\'s body.
"Ten Infernal Suppressing Demon Body!"
The Ten Thousand Caverns Ghost Mother let out a piercing scream, her body expanding with a male-sounding roar, erupting with terrifying might.
But as the Sword Qi relentlessly washed over her, suddenly one strand penetrated her body.
The Ten Thousand Caverns Ghost Mother shuddered violently, the roiling ghostly Qi stilled for a moment before collapsing entirely.
"What, what is this..."
The Ten Thousand Caverns Ghost Mother\'s eyes widened in disbelief as she looked at Li Hao, feeling her life being rapidly drained away, as though something was voraciously absorbing her life force and pulling it toward a distant place.
She tried to muster her strength and remove her Divine Soul from her body, but all her power and Divine Soul were ensnared by some force, unable to escape.
She had the sensation of being devoured by something invisible.
Death!
She felt the dreadful shadow of death looming over her.
In the instant her body seised, the Dragon Soar Sword in Li Hao\'s hand had already cleaved down, bisecting her body.
The Heaven-Devouring Demon Ancestor and Feng Shan Jun arrived in time to see, puzzled why she did not evade, then witnessed the Ten Thousand Caverns Ghost Mother\'s cloven body disintegrating and crumbling away, her life force fading swiftly. In the blink of an eye, it was utterly extinguished.
Dead!
This sudden turn of events left both Demon Kings astounded and wide-eyed, almost unable to believe it.
At first contact, this Tao Heart Realm Ghost Mother had been slain by Li Hao!
"And you two!"
Li Hao knew that he had triggered that fatal attack. Although the chances were exceedingly slim, the sheer number of Sword Qi that had washed over the opponent was enough; at least tens of thousands.
Had she taken it seriously and countered with an attack to cancel out his, she might have dodged, but choosing to endure with her flesh, she was more susceptible to triggering that effect.
