Chapter 945: Chapter 191: The Outbreak of the Divine War_2
In the Holy Land, Feng Boping said to Li Hao, intending to keep Li Hao from getting involved.
Li Hao nodded, thought for a mont, and decided not to ntion the matter of the Divine Ancestor to Feng. It wouldn’t be long before the news would spread anyway.
With the fall of three middle-level small worlds, the Divine Clan’s movents were as fierce as thunder and fire. After occupying the three middle-level small worlds, they stopped pretending altogether. The news of the Divine Clan’s reappearance spread across all the major powers of the heavens in just a day.
This news was like a bolt from the blue, arriving suddenly and shaking all the Holy Lands. mories of the ancient war against the Divine Clan erged from the dust, and the Holy Lands that had participated in that war all wore grim expressions, sealed their borders, and fully prepared for war.
At the sa ti, many eyes turned toward the Upper Three Realms, especially the Source Ancestor Sacred Land of the Heavenly Origin Realm, to see how the Source Ancestor would respond.
But within the Source Ancestor Sacred Land, it seed unusually quiet, with no news erging.
As the Divine Clan fully occupied three middle-level small worlds, the countless temples of the Divine Dynasties within were all destroyed. The deities worshiped there were mostly Saints or Supre Saints from various Holy Lands. All were destroyed, effectively severing the Incense Fire.
Two days after the three small worlds were sealed off, news ca of two more small worlds falling into the Divine Clan’s hands.
At the sa ti, four more Saints had perished, causing an uproar across all heavens.
“I’ve heard that many Saints who participated in the past are secretly heading to the Heavenly Origin Realm. Although the Divine Clan’s resurgence is ferocious, it shouldn’t last long. The outco will be determined soon.”
In the Holy Land, Feng Boping visited Li Hao’s small courtyard, and the two discussed the developnts over tea.
“Has there been any movent from the Source Ancestor Sacred Land?”
Li Hao asked.
Feng Boping shook his head: “With the Divine Clan appearing so aggressively, the Source Ancestor will likely act cautiously, inviting the Supre Saints of old to join forces and recreate that past event. But who knows if this ti the Divine Clan will withstand it.”
Li Hao’s eyes showed a trace of concern at the words.
Having been besieged before, the Divine King would likely have prepared thoroughly this ti, and it was almost certain the Source Ancestor had similarly upgraded his preparations.
Days passed.
News trickled in of small worlds submitting to the Divine Clan’s rule. Whether by force or willingly remained unclear.
anwhile, news spread from the Source Ancestor Sacred Land that they intended to face off against the Divine Clan in the Void Sky Abyss.
The Void Sky Abyss was a treacherous void, like a fissure with a bottomless abyss. It was rumored that the bottom of the abyss led outside of the All Saints World, but no one dared to venture there. So Saints had tried to explore it but never returned. A Supre Saint once warned that it was not the Immortal Divine Road and should not be explored, designating it as a forbidden void.
Shortly after the news broke, a Saint visited from a Little Thousand World.
Feng Boping went to et them. They were a Saint from the Source Ancestor Sacred Land, visiting the Holy Land.
Feng Boping had so guesses in his heart but remained composed as he brought the Saint into the Holy Land.
After brief pleasantries, the visitor requested to see Li Hao and directly revealed their intention to invite him to join the battle against the Demons.
Feng Boping quietly listened on the side. Although the Saint also extended an invitation to him, the terms offered to him were far less generous—only promising one world’s Incense Fire. anwhile, the benefits promised to Li Hao were a full ten lower worlds!
Additionally, the Source Ancestor vowed that during the Ancient Hall’s exploration of the Immortal Divine Road, they would protect Li Hao from harm to the best of their ability.
Li Hao listened quietly as the Saint listed the various boons promised by the Source Ancestor. His expression remained calm, though these rewards were indeed tempting. While they moved his heart, he had promised Ying Xiaoxiao not to get involved in this strife.
Moreover, regarding the Ancient Hall’s exploration, he did not plan to rely on others. The Mixed Heaven Saint would most likely take the opportunity to strike at him. If the Immortal Divine Road were truly found, the Mixed Heaven Saint would escape this place, and before leaving, they would certainly not spare him.
Whether or not the Source Ancestor would confront the Mixed Heaven Saint on his behalf was unknown.
“I’ve fought with the Green Lamp Buddha and Void Ancestor before and suffered so injuries. I’m currently recuperating and not fit for battle.”
Li Hao found an excuse to decline, thus avoiding offending the Source Ancestor.
The Saint gave him a surprised look, his sincerity fading slightly, and he said seriously:
“Haotian Venerate, the resurgence of the Demon Clan is a catastrophe. The Source Ancestor leading the All Saints to crusade is an act of divine will. The Demon Clan is devious and cruel, using slaughter to cultivate. Striking them down is a great deed of rit.”
Li Hao sneered inwardly but outwardly feigned confusion and nodded:
“Once I’ve recovered, I’ll consider it. Please convey my gratitude to the Source Ancestor.”
The Saint stared at Li Hao for a long mont but said no more. He nodded and stood to leave, though there was a hint of displeasure in his eyes.
After he left, Feng Boping said to Li Hao: “By refusing the Source Ancestor, I worry he might overthink and suspect collusion between you and the Divine Clan, turning against you.”
Li Hao shook his head: “He won’t. The Divine Clan is their main enemy now, and they won’t create unnecessary foes at this ti. Besides, the better the benefits the Source Ancestor offers , the graver their situation likely is. The Divine Clan may be even more troubleso than we think. Otherwise, why would the Source Ancestor seek help from soone who isn’t even a Supre Saint?”
Feng Boping contemplated this and nodded thoughtfully: “That’s a good point. If all the Supre Saints were willing to act, the Source Ancestor would have already launched an attack. The Divine Clan, no matter how strong, would not dare challenge all the heavens alone—unless the other Supre Saints refuse to get involved.”
“Hmm…”
Li Hao’s eyes flickered. This was sothing he had considered as well.
In the past, the Source Ancestor united several Supre Saints to suppress the Divine King. Now, these Supre Saints were unwilling to act. The reason was likely only one thing.
The Ancient Hall.
In two years, the Ancient Hall would open. What awaited inside was unknown, but if competition for the Immortal Divine Road arose, the Source Ancestor would undoubtedly beco the greatest obstacle.
If the Divine Clan and Source Ancestor clashed and both were severely weakened, it would be the most advantageous outco for the other Supre Saints.
The Divine Clan’s declaration of war at this mont was also likely calculated, exploiting the intentions of the other Supre Saints.
Half a month passed in the blink of an eye.
The Divine Clan’s movents grew larger, successively reclaiming another four to five small worlds.
anwhile, the Heavenly Origin Realm dispatched Saints to clash with the Divine Clan in a small world.
Li Hao, while keeping an eye on the external situation, focused on his cultivation.
Now that he had cultivated the Second Ultimate Realm, he freed up ti to use the Control Dao thod to refine laws, integrating them into his body, attempting to break into the Wen Dao Extre Realm.
If he could achieve the Wen Dao Extre Realm, Li Hao felt his strength would escalate significantly.
After all, the Eternal Dao Domain Extre Realm was rare among the All Saints. The Wen Dao Extre Realm was sothing even few Supre Saints had mastered. By then, he would have one more weapon to face the Mixed Heaven Saint.
As the laws continuously refined his body, Li Hao’s physique grew increasingly powerful. All the bones in his body beca Dao Bones, and his Divine Blood contained profound Dao forces.
If he could refine his entire body into a Dao Body, Li Hao felt he would beco nearly indestructible.
While he cultivated, events continued to unfold in the Heavenly Origin Realm. Many Saints gathered, and the Source Ancestor and Divine Clan stood in opposition. Saints on both sides frequently attacked one another, though a full-scale war had not yet erupted.
The parties continued probing each other. Occasionally, Saints were injured or killed, but the Source Ancestor and Divine King had yet to engage directly.
Feng Boping brought back news confirming Li Hao’s suspicions. The other Supre Saints’ Holy Lands remained silent, showing no intent to get involved in the war.
Even those Supre Saints who had once joined forces to slay the Divine King had sealed off their Holy Lands.
Li Hao speculated that aside from the Ancient Hall, the Divine King might have promised so benefits to these Supre Saints, dissuading them from cooperating against him.
As Saints from the Source Ancestor Sacred Land and the Divine Clan continued to clash, the conflict spilled into various worlds. More and more Saints chose sides, either aligning with the Source Ancestor or joining the Divine Clan in opposition.
Ti flew by, and a year passed.
The friction between the Divine Clan and the Source Ancestor Sacred Land persisted, yet no final battle had taken place. This dragged-on stalemate was entirely different from the initial predictions of a swift resolution, primarily due to the lack of involvent from the other Supre Saints.
Li Hao sensed that this war might last until the Ancient Hall opened before a decisive result erged.
As the Ancient Hall’s opening drew near, ti beca increasingly precious for Li Hao.
