Follow the path of Dao from infancy

Li Hao saw it, but his eyes remained calm. At this moment, only he could comprehend the immense power he held. He had taken control of this world, becoming the true incarnation of an Immortal God!

He raised his hand, and endless strength converged from all directions. It then condensed into countless strands of Sword Qi, overlapping each other to form three silvery-white sword beams, striking Li Tianzong in an instant.

All this was the work of a moment, summoning and condensing power beyond imagination.

Immortals can command the wind and rain, omnipotent.

At this moment, Li Hao wielded the Power of Heaven and Earth, borrowing the majesty of this world to display such capabilities.

No matter how powerful the Dao Domain was, it could not truly destroy the heavens and the earth, nor the void; hence, Li Hao couldn't be surrounded by the Dao Domain, let alone be destroyed!

Bang!

Three consecutive sword lights shattered the Dao Domain, defied the rules, and slashed directly onto Li Tianzong's body, severing his arm and cleaving open his chest, from which an even stronger Demon energy emanated.

In the distance, the Candle Flame God and Ms. Yin stealthily approached, hoping to land the final blow on Li Hao, but were shocked by the terrifying scene unfolding before them.

Li Tianzong, who had consolidated multiple Dao Domains, was actually being suppressed by Li Hao at this moment!

"What did he do, how could this be?"

Ms. Yin's eyes widened, filled with disbelief.

But the Candle Flame God's pupils contracted, his heart pounding wildly; an ancient inheritance memory surfaced, making every hair on his body stand on end.

"That seems to be the power of a Saint..."

He muttered to himself, overwhelmed and indescribable.

Li Tianzong's enormous body staggered backward, grievously wounded by Li Hao's Sword Qi, with blood spraying all over.

However, his eyes emitted a more terrifying red glow, and he let out an enraged roar. The head of the Demon King on his body wanted to roar threats at Li Hao, but suddenly, as if being drained by something, it all changed color.

"Damn it..."

Before the heads of the Demon Kings could roar, they shrunk back into Li Tianzong's body, seemingly pulled in by a force.

Afterward, the Demonic Qi around Li Tianzong grew denser, and the wounds on his body swiftly healed. His severed limbs regrew.

"Anyone who stands in my way dies!!"

His eyes, like blood-stained weeping, emitted a roar, and behind him, emerged several shadowy figures of the Demon Kings, adding a terrifying momentum. The Dao Domain concentrated, gathering onto his spear, soaring through the sky.

This thrust was like thunder, piercing the heavens, as if it could tear apart the sky above Dragon City.

Li Hao raised his hand as well, unleashing the strongest form of his swordsmanship, the Sword's Ultimate Reincarnation!

Spring, Autumn, Winter, Summer, encompassing dozens of types of swordsmanship, all condensed into the Four Seasons.

In the end, as the Four Seasons revolved, they transformed into a pitch-black sword beam.

This sword beam was like the night, capable of devouring everything, overshadowing all things.

Within it was a terrifying Extinction Principle, which fiercely clashed with the spear.

A violent rumble ensued, and Li Tianzong's body tore apart, his demonic body shattered, as he burned his whole body's blood vessels and Divine Soul to erupt with boundless might.

Meanwhile, Li Hao's own body was bleeding, continually breaking apart. Summoning his strongest sword earlier had forced him to tap into even more strength, causing his Unwithering Strength to be overwhelmed. What should have lasted three minutes now halved.

Li Hao knew his time was running short.

Seeing the frenzied Li Tianzong rushing towards him, he likewise met the assault head-on.

The two clashed fiercely in the void, their punches and kicks colliding, creating terrible shockwaves.

"Soldiers, attack together!"

Li Tianzong roared again, and the transformed soldiers of the entire city turned into black smoke, drifting toward his body to merge into one.

Li Hao's expression changed upon seeing this. If he truly allowed his opponent to merge, even in his Immortal state, he might not be able to withstand it.

Why be so persistent?

Li Hao gazed into those red, raging eyes and sighed softly.

He really wanted to look up at the world one more time, if only for the last time.

But he knew he had no time left.

"I will get you back home..."

Li Hao raised his hand, the Green Frost Sword had shattered, but he mustered his power to solidify the fragments into a broken blade, wielding it once more to deliver the strongest Sword Intent.

Three consecutive strikes, one slashing towards the demons and soldiers within the city, the other two landing on Li Tianzong.

The demonic might on his body was scattered, his body burst open, and his chest cracked.

And as he unleashed such a powerful attack, Li Hao's flesh and blood deteriorated rapidly, the solidified Green Frost Sword also turned to debris, leaving him no choice but to charge forward, continuously swinging his fists.

Boom boom boom!

Blow after blow, his fists pummeled Li Tianzong's massive demonic form, punching holes everywhere, Demonic Qi rattling and dissipating from within.

Li Tianzong let out a roar of fury, and yet his body was completely overpowered by Li Hao.

He seemed to realize that he had failed.

"I want to go home, I wish to bring you all back home..."

He let out a wounded beast's mournful roar, tears of hot blood flowing from his eyes, seemingly returning to the despair of Dragon City's collapse.

Boom!

Li Hao's final punch was swung, crushing the demonic presence within him completely, the giant demon body disappeared, plummeting straight down into the city.

Li Hao's body had become horrifying, the flesh of his chest and abdomen all fallen off, leaving behind nothing but a broken shell.

Even the Unwithering Strength could not alleviate it, and it was quickly running out.

Li Hao turned his head towards the city, suddenly raised his hand, and drew in all the Power of Heaven and Earth, unleashing it with a swing.

A wave of Sword Qi rippled out from his side, spreading rapidly, its destructive force comparable to the Dao Domain's extension, erasing all the demons and mutated soldiers it passed, not even a scream could be emitted in time.

This included some Great Demons from the Three Immortal Realms and even the Demon King, none had the power to resist.

The Candle Flame God tried to flee, but that force came too fast. He blocked with all his might using his Dao Domain, roaring in rage, but his body was submerged nevertheless.

"Hao Er!"

Li Xiaoran rushed over from afar, only to see Li Hao's body fading away like dust.

Li Tianzong climbed out of the deep pit, his hair disheveled, but with no sign of demonic presence on him, no dark Qi, and the red in his eyes had disappeared.

He looked around, and when he spotted Li Hao almost vanishing in mid-air, his pupils suddenly shrank, and he hurriedly rushed over.

"My child!"

He sped over like a rainbow, arriving in front of Li Hao, trembling as he saw the dissipating body:

"How could you do something so foolish!"

Li Hao felt his consciousness being pulled by the Power of Heaven and Earth, about to dissipate, he saw Li Tianzong who seemed to have regained clarity, he smiled weakly:

"Now, you should be able to go back..."

Beside him, golden lettering appeared, notifying Li Hao that the main quest was complete.

Does this count as clearing the game?

Li Hao wanted to look closer, but his vision was already blurry, everything seemed to be receding, and it felt like he was being tugged into the vast Heaven and Earth, to blend in completely.

"If I've cleared it, then I should be able to let go, right..."

Li Hao murmured to himself.

His body, like dust, faded from sight in front of Li Tianzong and Li Xiaoran.

Li Xiaoran, who had chased over, was also covered in the blood of demons, he stared blankly at Li Hao disappearing like a wisp of clean breeze, completely gone.

The young man's last words, faint as spider silk, reached his ears, causing him to break down in tears.

With Mo River's passage, big brother Li Tianzong could be freed.

But, Li Hao couldn't return anymore!
