Countless members of the Ji Family had their eyes wide with disbelief, unable to accept what they were witnessing.
The many elders of the Ji Family, however, turned pale with shock, for they recognized it as the Heaven and Earth Law Manifestation, the manifestation of the Third Extreme Realm!!
Even within the Ji Family, the Ancient Holy Clan, by relying on talent and longevity resources, one could barely manage to cultivate the previous two realms to their limits, but the Third Extreme Realm was a massive chasm!
Unless one was like the Prime Ancestor and inherited heaven and earth, capable of condensing the soul 360 times to reveal the might of the Heaven and Earth Law Manifestation!
And the exceptional geniuses of their clan were mostly inheritors of the Prime Ancestor’s holy soul, condensing the soul 270 times. No matter what Soul Condensing Cultivation Technique they practiced, it was impossible to break this limit, for that was the maximum number of condensings the holy soul could withstand!
Unless they started anew, inheriting the soul with heaven and earth!
But it was not easy to inherit the soul with heaven and earth; one needed top-notch mental disposition and talent, the presence of someone whose fame shook the ages, and it was necessary to cultivate to near the limit in both the Power Passage Realm and Zhou Tian Realm before there was a possibility of achieving it!
Although the ten great prodigies of the Ji Family all mastered the state of Divine Power, they only turned to hone their physical bodies after cultivating their realms to later stages, bringing the Power Passage Realm to the extreme.
If one sought to inherit the soul with heaven and earth while in the Soul Succession Realm, they would fall into an extremely long stagnation, needing to repeatedly refine the Power Passage and Zhou Tian Realms. Only by slowing down for several decades was there a slight possibility.
This was not untried; only, those who tried it mostly failed.
Even if the Power Passage and Zhou Tian Realms were both cultivated to extreme strength, to withstand the suppression of heaven and earth during the soul inheritance, without a will surpassing that of the Prime Ancestor and all beings, it would not be recognized by heaven and earth!
Therefore, this Third Extreme Realm was extremely difficult, exceedingly rare.
Harder to achieve than the Divine Travel Realm and Fifteen Li Realm!
Boom!
The clouds at the mountaintop exploded, howling as they dispersed!
At that moment, the fist swung by the Heaven and Earth Law Manifestation aimed straight down at Ji Mysterious God, carrying anger and frenzy, as if it wanted to shatter the entire Tian Dao Mountain!
And Li Hao, who was near the ground about to be suppressed and flattened, also roared as he swung his Invincible Fist, its intent and power like a roaring lion, like a dragon soaring to the sky, bursting forth to meet the fist of the manifestation, two fists, one large, one small, trapping Ji Mysterious God in the middle.
Ji Mysterious God’s pupils constricted, shaking at the moment he saw Li Hao’s Heaven and Earth Law Manifestation.
Mastering two Extreme Realms, how could he not know how difficult it was to condense the Heaven and Earth Law Manifestation, recorded only in the legends left behind by the Prime Ancestor in the Ji Family, achieved over ten thousand years by only two geniuses with exceptional talent.
And now, the legend once again shone into reality, with that youth’s soul-inheriting manifestion of the will, opposing his innate Holy Bone!
"I am invincible!!"
Ji Mysterious God’s eyes flashed furiously as he bellowed, "You possess a soaring ambition, but I will crush your will, Dao Domain, tear it apart for me!!"

All the major veins in his body fractured and trembled, bursting with limit-breaking power, the Heaven and Earth Vein pumping frantically like a water pump, drawing in the power of heaven and earth from the surroundings. However, to his horror, he found that the power he could draw upon was extremely weak.
The power of heaven and earth nearby had all but vanished, or rather, had been monopolized by Li Hao!
Ji Mysterious God’s eyes wept blood as he roared like a madman, his long hair flying about, his own Heaven and Earth Vein breaking, unleashing boundless might, thrusting his Dao Domain forward!
In that moment, these two brilliantly dazzling prodigies unleashed the most extreme power of their lives, clashing violently.
The world seemed to lose all sound.
Following the brief silence came a buzzing in the ears, resonating out.
All people could see was a spectacle as resplendent as exploding stars, yet they could hear nothing.
Only when the countless energies released and impacted the Barrier, after a delay of two seconds, did a deafening roar, like a level ten earthquake rippling beneath their feet, burst forth!
Then there was the long-lasting echo of energy, constantly resonating and thundering against the Barrier.
And in the half-sky, that most dazzling, most outstanding prodigy of the current Ji Family, his Dao Domain shattered into silence under the impact of the two fists, like a broken-winged bird, crashing onto the Barrier, spewing a mouthful of fresh blood before plummeting directly, falling to the fringes of the dilapidated arena.
As Ji Mysterious God was defeated, the majesty of the Holy Bone also faded away, and the pressure from the hundred thousand mountains on Li Hao’s body seemingly disappeared all at once, lightening the pressure he felt.
But the disintegration of Li Hao’s body did not stop. He clenched his teeth, holding his breath, desperately trying to halt the inflow of the qi of heaven and earth.
Large pieces of flesh fell from his body, which seemed like a wall with a gap, the power continuously penetrating into his bones, threatening to split his body completely.
Li Hao howled to the sky, dispersing the power within the Heaven and Earth Law Manifestation, then had the manifestation embrace him to block the subsequent influx of the power of heaven and earth.
In the arena, only that youth’s manifestation held unto itself, roaring in a dire situation, struggling between life and death.
Eventually, that seemingly collapsing power of heaven and earth finally ceased to flow, blocked by the Heaven and Earth Law Manifestation. Li Hao took this opportunity to fully heal his body, regenerating flesh and blood.
His regeneration was astoundingly rapid, plainly visible to the naked eye, as if undergoing nirvana in dire straits. Soon, as Li Hao’s body mostly healed, the power of heaven and earth also stabilized.
The youth’s entire body was like red gold, bathed in blood, yet he stood like a War God, slowly straightening his spine, an aura befitting a deity emanating from him. He stood within the arena, his face showing nothing but determination weathered by trials and tribulations.
