Chapter 374: Chapter 12: Ancestral Divine Weapon, Touching the Limit (Extra for Alliance Hierarch 'M Wu Mian', with thanks)_3
Peerless Technique Realm practitioners basically master the Martial Tao Extreme Meaning Skill, and their most powerful moves are extremely terrifying, endowing them with the capability to fight enemies to the death.
This is also the reason why no one wishes to provoke them lightly.
To be precise, even those in the Tao Heart Realm are exceedingly formidable, for their ability to ensure every attack hits is enough to send chills down the spine of someone from the Three Immortal Realms.
And the Ultimate Study Realm gives one the qualification to challenge a major power singlehandedly, to stand up and fight them to the death.
Not to mention the Grand Tao of Peace Realm, once their Dao Domain unfolds, they are invincible!
"Only four days, and over a hundred Demon Kings..."
Li Hao's eyes were heavy, the Mo River contained a vast number of demon souls, and the existence of such a ghastly-level Mo River has been extremely long-standing, nobody knows how many Demon King spirits have been involved.
If he only reaches the strength seen on the outside, it will probably still be far from enough, he needs to become even stronger!
Li Hao took a deep breath, didn't ask more, and together with Li Xiaoran, dealt with the Demon King corpses, cleaned up the smaller demons in the courtyard, and then turned to leave.
In the following days, besides cultivating to accumulate Skill Points, Li Hao spent his days patrolling the city with Li Xiaoran, sweeping away demons.
When Li Tianzong learned that Li Hao was able to kill Demon Kings at the age of thirteen, he was so shocked that he was at a loss for words.
Though the other nine sons of the Li Family were all exceptionally outstanding, here, they seemed to be completely overshadowed by Li Hao's brilliance.
Even Li Junye was affected. Originally, he was the most dazzling one, but now he was merely a glow next to Li Hao, easily overlooked.
But Li Junye practiced diligently and improved rapidly. Although he couldn't catch up to Li Hao, by the age of fifteen, he had already entered the Heavenly Human Realm, ahead of the record of seventeen-year-olds outside.
Li Hao guessed that this might be due to many irrational aspects of the Mo River, combined with the butterfly effect caused by his and Li Xiaoran's appearance.
As time passed, the number of demons Hao killed increased, and his renown made the demons within the city tremble with fear. Each day he stepped outside of the Divine General Mansion meant certain death for demons within the city, an ominous harbinger of blood and carnage.
As Hao continued his demon-slaying, coupled with the many precious medicines prepared by Li Tianzong for him, Hao's cultivation progressed at a miraculous rate.
Consuming too many precious medicines can lead to a shaky foundation and unstable realm, but that's only for ordinary people. Hao possessed various cultivation techniques at the true form or even transcendent level. With a slight circulation, he completely digested the precious medicines.
His body was like a bottomless pit, able to swallow endless energy, absorbed by those techniques, tempering every part of his body.
Hao's physical strength climbed steadily, swiftly reaching the level of an Eighth Cast Divine Weapon.
Li Tianzong then allowed Hao access to the core secret vault of the Li Family, which contained their cherished divine medicines, secret treasures, cultivation methods, and so on.
Hao did not stand on ceremony, nor did he intend to save anything for the future, after all, there was no future in this Mo River, everything was but a shadow, only the persistence of the current Li Tianzong was real.
Thus, he absorbed all the divine medicines, took out the ancestral divine weapons from inside, and at the very top of the rows, were the weapons of the ten first-generation ancestors. The third one held a precious sword.
The first-generation ancestor, Li Tianyuan, used a spear, while his grandson, the third-generation ancestor, used a sword.
That sword was forged nine times, nearing the level of the Saint Heart Heavenly Treasure.
Li Xiaoran told Hao, regrettably, the weapon of the first-generation ancestor was broken and damaged. It was a Saint Heart Heavenly Treasure, and since the Tiaobao Taoist of the Dayu Divine Dynasty passed away thousands of years ago, no one has been able to repair the Saint Heart Heavenly Treasure.
The title "Heavenly Treasure" of the Saint Heart Heavenly Treasure was derived from the famed weapon forging Taoist's title.
His disciples did not have the talent, and the heritage was lost, which was also a matter of regret for the Dayu Divine Dynasty.
Today, the master of the Ten Thousand Artifacts Tower is a distant descendant of the Tiaobao Taoist, with just enough skill to barely forge the Saint Heart Heavenly Treasure, but with a low success rate.
Hao took the sword, learned its name was 'Qing Shuang', and remarked what a good name it was.
Then he wore the sword at his side, taking this dust-covered ancestral divine weapon out of the treasure vault.
Li Tianzong didn't say anything about it, after all, Hao was now the real dragon of the Li Family, entitled to inherit the ancestral divine weapons.
If it were any other direct descendant, considerations would have to be made, since an ancestor's divine weapon represented not only its sheer power but also status.
If every direct descendant could choose at will, many would have been lost long ago.
After donning the weapon, Hao returned to his cultivation and demon-slaying endeavors.
As the city's demons were continuously swept clean, and with the assistance of demon essence blood and the secret vault's divine medicines, Hao's body grew increasingly powerful.
He attempted to comprehend the Tao Heart, but during the process, his thoughts drifted, and time seemed to accelerate unnoticed.
Hearing Xiaoran's stories, Hao learned that this was normal. As Xiaoran stepped into the Tao Heart Realm, the process of comprehending the Tao Heart also accelerated time by seven or eight years.
Hao merely dabbled slightly in the immersion of comprehension, and time sped up until he was seventeen years old.
The impending battle in Dragon City was just around the corner.
"My physical body seems to be touching the limit of the Three Immortal Realms..."
Hao felt his body, his flesh refined, the power within like a vast, thick sea, giving him a sense of endless potential.
