The Name of Eternity.

Chapter 598 A Challenge from All Sides, Only I, with One Sword

Hearing Li Hao's words, Su Wanqing was stunned. She turned her head and looked at the serious face and eyes of the boy beside her. Her heart trembled slightly, and she smiled:

"Help me pick it? This Immortal Purple Osmanthus requires not only the qualification of being invincible in the same realm, but also the qualification of picking it. Being invincible in the same realm is just the qualification to pick it."

Li Hao didn't speak, but turned his gaze to Su Muqing.

Upon hearing Li Hao's words, Su Muqing's eyes twitched slightly, her gaze turning sinister as she sneered:

"He has no skills, but he's good at talking big."

Su Qiyu and the others beside him also looked at Li Hao, their brows furrowing slightly. Having failed to please Su Muqing earlier, they were now settling for second best and trying to please Su Wanqing instead.

"Sister Wanqing."

Su Wanxue frowned and shook her head slightly at Su Wanqing, indicating that she should not pay any more attention to Li Hao.

A complex emotion flashed in Su Wanqing's eyes. Although she knew Li Hao was just trying to make her happy, the boy's eyes were so sincere that she couldn't help but believe him for some reason.

Beside him, Li Hao had already gotten up from the futon.

He glanced at Su Muqing and thought to himself, "I'll be back soon."

Su Wanqing, who was by his side, had been asking him for advice on painting these days, which also gave him many opportunities to see Su Muqing. He felt it was necessary to repay her.

He lifted his foot, stepped over the prayer mat, and walked past the Su family members around him.

His actions did not display any power, but the Jiang and Lin families around him all noticed Li Hao's movements.

Jiang Huanhuan and the Lin family all turned to look, and when they saw Li Hao setting off to join the battle, surprise appeared in their eyes.

Jiang Huanhuan was delighted. After seeing Li Hao's painting and hearing Su Muqing say that Li Hao was a hundred-year-old soul, she was extremely curious about Li Hao. She felt that this young man had a mysterious background. She had sent people to investigate over the years, but she could not find out any information about Li Hao.

Given the Jiang family's status and influence in the Northern Region, this is truly incredible.

This young man seemed to appear out of nowhere, descending upon the Northern Region from elsewhere.

"Is that guy who's pursuing Su Muqing going to join the fray too?"

"The first level of the Immortal Lord Realm, that's a rather low level!"

"His cultivation level is low, but I heard that his lifespan is only a hundred years, which is quite exaggerated."

"A hundred years? How is that possible? The Lin family's ancestor didn't even reach the Immortal Lord realm a hundred years ago, did he?"

"It's really hard to say, but think about it carefully. If you don't have some ability, how can you have the courage to pursue a phoenix like Su Muqing, especially under the current circumstances?"

"That's true, let's see how he performs."

The gazes of the young talents from various noble families all focused on Li Hao, their eyes filled with curiosity.

They did not simply belittle and belittle Li Hao. After all, they were all geniuses from prestigious families, and besides cultivation, they were also thoughtful and intelligent, able to deduce things.

On the battle stage, Lin Jinrou saw Li Hao preparing for the battle below the stage. A look of surprise appeared in her eyes, but she smiled gently and said:
"Painter Haotian, do you want to go on stage? Then you can go first. I'm a little tired from battling with Sister Wanqing."

Her words were a way of giving the Su family some face. As for being tired, she had the Heavenly Star Vein and could recover in the blink of an eye.

A prodigy of her caliber has already reached the final stage of the first two realms, making her the most outstanding figure among the younger generation of the Lin family, apart from that imperial prince.

Seeing her say that, Li Hao didn't refuse; he also wanted to return as soon as possible.

"it is good."

Li Hao nodded.

Lin Jinrou gracefully stepped off the stage. As she passed Li Hao, she winked at him and said, "Painter Haotian, after the laurel wreath competition, I'll visit the Su family. Don't refuse me, okay?"

Li Hao sighed helplessly and nodded in response.

In any case, he himself would not leave that Immortal Abode.

Once Lin Jinrou vacated the battle platform, Li Hao took a step forward and instantly teleported onto the platform.

"Hmm? That young man's immortal power is so strong, unlike someone at the first level of the Immortal Lord realm, his immortal body..."

High in the sky, the Immortal King Tan's eyes narrowed slightly, a hint of surprise appearing on his face.

Besides the Jiang, Su, and Lin families, there are actually other extraordinary talents emerging from nowhere in the Northern Region?
At this moment, Li Hao stood still on the stage. He glanced around and then his gaze fell on Su Muqing. His tone was very calm:
"I am Haotian, a first-level Immortal Lord, and I challenge all those present who are of the same realm."

His words were extremely calm, yet they resonated throughout the entire hall. It was an unremarkable opening, but he added at the end:
"If the rules allow, I hope everyone can come up on stage together and finish this as soon as possible."

As soon as these words were spoken, the previously whispering discussion fell into a brief silence.

Immediately afterwards, a commotion and clamor erupted as the prodigies of various noble families stared at the young man in astonishment, their faces contorted with anger and coldness.

"What does this mean? Are you telling us to attack together?"

"How arrogant! Where did this guy come from? He's only at the first level of the Immortal Lord realm and he's already this arrogant!"

"If the prodigies of the three great families said this, I would just swallow my pride and bear it. Who does he think he is?"

"Is she trying to impress Su Muqing? How the hell can I tolerate this?!"

The young talents from all the prominent families were enraged; Li Hao's words had incited their fury.

Su Muqing was the goddess in the hearts of many aristocratic families and the object of their admiration. However, due to the presence of the true dragon of the Lin family, no one dared to express their feelings. They could only admire her from afar and dared not profane her.

But this guy, who seemed to come from nowhere, was actually showing off to Su Muqing in public through them, which was a bit unbearable!
"Zifeng, go teach this guy a lesson for me!"

"Bai Jing, go up there and satisfy him. He's not allowed to leave the stage until his primordial spirit is shattered!"

"Outrageous! Do you think our Gusu Imperial Star has no one to rely on?!"

"Even if Immortal King Tan forbids it, we will still teach him a lesson today!"

Below the stage, the world's geniuses became restless, and soon some rushed onto the battle stage, afraid that someone else would snatch it away.

They were eager to try and defeat Li Hao when he took the field, hoping to subtly curry favor with Su Muqing. Although they couldn't openly express their feelings to Su Muqing, they were still willing to show their affection whenever they had the chance.

To make matters worse, this guy actually went looking for his own death!

"he……"

Lin Jinrou had just returned to the meditation cushion when she heard Li Hao's words, and she was stunned.

Jiang Huanhuan was also stunned. She never expected that the boy, who had always seemed so gentle and quiet, would say such arrogant things.

Looking at the figure standing on the battle platform, she vaguely felt that the other party seemed to be somewhat different from the previous calm. There was some kind of invisible power emanating from the young man. She had only felt that kind of feeling from top geniuses, especially the Lin family's imperial son!

"This guy!"

Su Wanxue's expression changed slightly, and she frowned. If Li Hao lost, he would not only lose face, but also Su Muqing's, and the Su family would be ridiculed as a result.

After all, it's inevitable that people will gossip about someone who's pursuing the Su family's true daughter and turns out to be such a scoundrel.

Su Wanqing's eyes were filled with worry. She sat on the prayer mat, her fingers clenched tightly in her bosom, twisting her fairy-like dress. "Damn it!"

Su Muqing gritted her teeth and glared angrily at Li Hao. She had wanted to see Li Hao lose before, but now that he had lost, his arrogance would inevitably drag her down with him and make her the target of ridicule behind her back!
Whoosh whoosh!
In the blink of an eye, figures flew onto the stage, and in an instant, there were more than a dozen people.

Other aristocratic prodigies also rushed out quickly, teleporting onto the battle stage, and in the blink of an eye, there were almost thirty people.

Tan Xianwang's expression changed slightly. He quickly raised his hand and sealed the barrier to prevent anyone else from entering.

Otherwise, judging from the current situation, all the hundred or so geniuses from various aristocratic families at the first level of the Immortal Lord realm would probably be vying to beat up this kid.

"What an arrogant fellow! These are all geniuses from prestigious families, not ordinary first-level Immortal Lords outside. Each person here can defeat hundreds or even thousands of ordinary people at the same level. He's courting death!"

A young disciple at the Immortal Lord realm beside Immortal King Tan whispered.

The other person nodded slightly, a sigh in his eyes. This person didn't have the background of the three major families, yet he was even more arrogant than them!
"The number of participants is a bit too many."

Tan Xianwang frowned. He could vaguely sense the powerful aura emanating from the young man's body, which was no ordinary prodigy. However, if he sought fairness, defeating twenty people of the same realm would already be considered invincible. Otherwise, if he truly wanted to achieve invincibility, the challenge would be endless.

"Gentlemen, there are more than fourteen people. Please select fourteen people to withdraw."

Tan Xianwang spoke, his voice resonating throughout the entire arena.

There are already 34 people on the battle platform.

Upon hearing this, the crowd on the battle platform immediately stirred and looked at each other in bewilderment.

"I'm not going down there, I'm going to beat this kid to death!"

"I'm not going to quit!"

Everyone expressed their willingness to withdraw, while the young talents from various aristocratic families outside the battle platform were still slapping their thighs in regret, lamenting that they had gone up too late.

"How about we settle this with a duel first? Whoever makes it into the top twenty gets to beat him up!"

Someone suggested.

People responded quickly.

Hearing their noisy argument, Li Hao frowned slightly, looked up at the Immortal King Tan in the sky, and said:
"Senior, this junior has no objection. Please allow us to begin immediately."

King Tanxian was slightly taken aback.

Li Hao's words landed on the crowd like a depth charge, causing an uproar once again!
"My God, has he gone mad? This is outrageous!"

"This is...this is practically suicide!"

The 34 people on the stage were all furious, staring at Li Hao with murderous intent. Was he treating them like dirt?!
King Tan, regaining his senses, frowned slightly upon seeing Li Hao's sincere gesture of bowing, and waved his hand, saying:
"Since you proposed it yourself, then... I agree!"

As soon as he uttered the word "Yun," he waved his hand, and the void suddenly trembled with thunder. A bolt of purple lightning tore through the sky, signaling the start of the battle!

"Boy, you are courting death!"

"I'm going to smash him to pieces, even his soul!"

The prodigies from various noble families all displayed their auras, their immortal power surging, fearing that if they were too late, they wouldn't even be able to touch Li Hao's corpse.

As the immortal power surged on the battle stage, the prodigies of various families revealed their own immortal laws, immortal seals, and even celestial manifestations, all in an effort to kill Li Hao first.

Most of their immortal seals are eight-flower immortal seals, and a third of them are nine-flower immortal seals. Although they are not nine-order nine-flower, they can still be considered first-class geniuses.

In an instant, dozens of sword energies crisscrossed the battle platform, their terrifying power causing the heavens and earth to change color.

At this moment, Li Hao also raised his palm, and the immortal power, like flowing nectar, gathered along his arm to his fingertips, and then seeped out from his fingertips, condensing into an immortal sword.

This immortal sword contains the power of the Nine Orders Origin. Its light flows, and even the void ripples slightly, showing cracks.

"Ok?"

Tan Xianwang stared intently. Was that the Nine Orders Origin? Moreover, their realms were all quite high!

That young man... possessed the Nine Flowers and Nine Orders Immortal Seal!
He was shocked. He knew that only the four little phoenixes of the Su family could condense a celestial seal of this level. Lin Jinrou and Jiang Huanhuan, the top geniuses of their respective families, were also at this level and had the qualifications to become disciples of the Emperor. Moreover, they were his personal disciples!

"My sword alone, Azure Sky!"

As a dense surge of immortal energy continuously emanated from his body, Li Hao's hair flew wildly, and his gaze gradually sharpened from calm to sharp, like two cold, gleaming swords.

His simple robe billowed without wind, and his immortal power surged rapidly, as if a majestic mountain had suddenly emerged from a previously tranquil lake. In an instant, a magnificent illusory image of heaven and earth appeared behind Li Hao.

The Dharma image was enveloped in golden divine light, its eyes slightly closed, and an invisible sword aura condensed in its hand.

The sword energy contained the power of the Nine Orders Origin. As it flowed, metal, wood, water, fire, earth, time and space all revolved around it, as if all the ways of the world had submitted to this sword!
"what?"

Below the stage, the Su family, the Lin family, the Jiang family, and the prodigies of various aristocratic families were all taken aback.

On the battle stage, the sharp, cold light in Li Hao's eyes suddenly intensified. As he turned his wrist, his sword rose, and the sky above the entire battle stage seemed to split apart, fearing the power of his sword.

break!!

As the sword light slashed down, wind, fire, thunder, and lightning burst forth from the void, as if squeezed out by some powerful pressure. Electricity was generated in the void, and wind and fire arose spontaneously!
The terrifying sword power was released at this moment, surging instantly and sweeping out fiercely.

The crowd that had gathered around Li Hao, whose originally powerful and imposing aura was instantly obscured and suppressed by Li Hao's sword strike, was like fireflies and the bright moon!

Compared to the other two, they seem like ants on a collapsing building, giving off a sense of insignificance!

"What kind of sword technique is this?!"

"Impossible! How could his immortal power be so strong? This is impossible!"

"I……"

Everyone was shocked and terrified. They proudly swung their swords, but before they could even touch the sword light that Li Hao had unleashed, they all shattered.

All paths in the world originate from the Nine Orders; when the Nine Orders are united, they are invincible!
A series of shattering sounds rang out, and the numerous figures that had swarmed towards Li Hao were extinguished in an instant, falling like moths to a flame!
Blood flew like a sword, immortal power shattered, and the laws of heaven and earth were annihilated!

With just one sword strike, the battle platform seemed to tear apart. Everyone on the platform was drawn into the crack in the sword's path, sucked in, unable to escape. In the end, their immortal bodies shattered and their primordial spirits tore apart!

"not good!"

Upon seeing this, Immortal King Tan hurriedly intervened, using the power of his domain to envelop the aristocratic prodigies with weaker primordial spirits, thus preventing their primordial spirits from truly being destroyed.

In that case, one can only be reincarnated, and it is unknown where one will be reincarnated.

This was originally a competition and exchange of skills among the outstanding talents of various families, to be stopped when the point was reached. If anyone were to fall, he would also have to take responsibility.

Soon, the sword's power on the battle platform dissipated, and its residual force struck the sealing array barrier, creating several ripples.

For someone at the first level of the Immortal Lord realm to be able to stir up ripples in this sealing array barrier is already astonishing.

As the young talents from various families stood on the battle stage, their bodies shattered and blood and flesh splattered everywhere, the scene fell silent in an instant.
