The black-robed man left.
It seemed like he wanted to do this the hard way.
As he left, he ruminated that the Hundred Battles Immortal King, currently the supreme ruler of the Nine Provinces, was inevitably set to grasp the reins of the Five Great Sects.
MO Tianxing, standing in front of him, would undoubtedly meet destruction alongside the Tianxing Sect.
Watching the black-robed man leave, MO Tianxing’s expression turned cold.
His Tianxing Sect had been established for more than a thousand years and had never bowed to any faction.
Moreover, an Immortal King?
It was not that his Tianxing Sect did not have immortal kings.
The outcome of this game had yet to be decided.
On the other hand, the thunderous reverberation in the sky persisted briefly but eventually dissipated. It seemed to have been triggered, yet somehow lost its intended target.
On the fourth level of the Heavenly Pavilion, the Star Demon Sword within the void before Li Hao had already undergone its transformation. After absorbing the boundless demonic aura, it had ascended to the ranks of a high-grade immortal artifact.
Bewitching!
At this moment, the Star Demon Sword looked even more demonic.
Buzz buzz buzz…
However, in the next moment, the Star Demon Sword let out another clang and stopped devouring the surrounding demonic aura.
Li Hao’s heart skipped a beat.
This Star Demon Sword sent him a message to bring him forward.
Subsequently, Li Hao observed the Star Demon Sword position itself above him. A keen sword intent materialized, engendering a protective barrier around Li Hao’s form. This shield warded off the external demonic aura. Even if Li Hao abstained from circulating his cultivation to resist it, the demonic aura could no longer erode him.
Then, the Star Demon Sword turned into a stream of light and headed in a direction.
Seeing this, Li Hao immediately moved and followed in the direction of the Star Demon Sword.
After a while, _
The Star Demon Sword stopped. Its body shone with a dazzling light, illuminating the place.
This was…
Li Hao was shocked again when he saw the scene ahead.
A large bell appeared in front of the Star Demon Sword.
This immense bell bore inscrutable patterns and enigmatic symbols, emanating a weighty aura.
Moreover, from the grade of the bell, it was probably not inferior to the Star Demon Sword.
It should be noted that the Star Demon Sword had already ascended to the level of a high-grade immortal artifact. If the bell in front of him was of an even loftier grade, what level of treasure did it represent?
Li Hao’s heart trembled. If he could accept it… Li Hao’s heart skipped a beat and he had some ideas.
But soon, Li Hao put an end to this thought.
That was because Li Hao realized that the endless demonic aura was released from the crack under the bell.
Even standing in proximity to the bell, Li Hao sensed a formidable suppression sweeping over him, as though it sought to subdue him. This constraining force emanated from the bell itself.
Under the bell, there was a demon suppressed.
‘What the hell is it?’
Li Hao circulated his cultivation and walked forward against the suppression.
However, at this moment,
Knock knock knock!
Perhaps detecting the presence of the Star Demon Sword, the bell abruptly resounded. It quivered incessantly, yearning to move toward the Star Demon Sword. However, due to its ongoing subjugation of the demonic entity beneath, it appeared unable to seize the opportunity.
Just as the bell shook, Li Hao saw the thing suppressed under it.
“A demon?”
_Li Hao’s eyes widened.
Under the bell was a fiend.
A head filled with the power of the demonic path.
It was unknown which demonic path expert’s head had been suppressed under this bell by someone, let alone how long it had been suppressed.
At a single glance, Li Hao felt his heartbeat skip, as if he had plunged into a quagmire, struggling to extricate himself.
Fortunately, Li Hao quickly woke up again, but he still had lingering fears. Just as the bell trembled due to the Star Demon Sword’s appearance, an immense demonic power emanated from the demon. The incarcerated demon appeared to rouse from its slumber, seemingly striving to break free of the bell’s restraint.
Thankfully, in this crucial moment, the arcane patterns and symbols on the bell suddenly ignited. They swirled around the bell, tracing an arcane trajectory. It seemed as though they had coalesced into an expansive seal. An overbearing suppression Dao surged forth, intercepting the demon’s power.
Buzz!
The sonorous toll of the weighty bell resonated instantly, stirring one’s very soul. The bell persisted in its reverberations, as though engaged in a silent struggle against the demon’s might.
Yet, within moments, the vibrations subsided. The demon appeared placid once again.
Li Hao was also shocked when he saw this.
The potential consequences of the demon’s liberation were unimaginable, carrying with them a colossal threat to him. Thankfully, the expansive bell thwarted this potential disaster.
Li Hao hastily retracted the Star Demon Sword, forestalling it from attracting unwanted attention once more.
The next moment, a ball of light suddenly appeared in the darkness beside him.
It was a passageway.
Observing this, Li Hao did not hesitate. He headed directly towards the illumination, stepping into the portal. His form vanished from that realm.
Just as Li Hao left the fourth level and appeared on the fifth level of the Heavenly Pavilion, beneath the grand bell, the imprisoned demon seemed to be harboring a trace of a smile, an enigmatic curvature across its visage.
It was actually smiling.
As for the reason, no one knew.
Li Hao stood at the fifth level of the Heavenly Pavilion.
However, it was as if he was standing in a void of space.
In the midst of this apparent void, a commanding figure manifested itself against the celestial tapestry.
Clothed in Baiyi attire, the figure traversed the firmament. In mere presence, it seemed elevated above all things, sovereign over even the entire cosmos.
He was truly extraordinary and arrogant.
That was right, Li Hao felt an extreme pride from this figure.
Arrogance, who did not care about anything, stood in the void as if he was the center of the universe.
Adjoining this pride was an unmistakable sense of righteousness.
Righteousness was indomitable and did not bow to anyone or anything.
Li Hao could not identify the identity of the figure before him, its form veiled from view. Yet, the spectacle captivated him, rendering him motionless, ensnared in a state of inertia.
“Heaven travels… Justice on behalf of Heaven..”
