Follow the path of Dao from infancy

Chapter 767: Chapter 151: Buddha Venerate’s Gentle Whisper, Only Me Swordsmanship (Seeking Monthly Pass)_3

Thus, once this battle ended, all eyes converged upon the Buddha Child twins. All others would be rendered insignificant and dim.

“Buddha Venerate, this may be somewhat excessive.”

The Sword Saint spoke softly. Although he had no expectation for the Haoyue Saint Son to gain fame through this, knowing that his strength might not even make the top ten when competing in All Heavens, he still felt reluctant to see his brilliance overshadowed in the Canglan Realm.

Buddha Venerate replied quietly: “The esteemed disciples of the two of you can also vie for the top spot. True capability will be shown in the contest. All beings are equal. Sword Saint, who cultivates the way of all beings, should understand this.”

The face of the Sword Saint cooled slightly, interpreting Buddha Venerate’s words to mean that all could compete, relying solely on their abilities.

Literary Saint glanced faintly at Buddha Venerate, seemingly letting out a light chuckle, but said nothing.

Sword Saint noticed Literary Saint’s silence and frowned, sighing inwardly, deciding not to say more.

How much Haoyue can show will depend on his own ability.

Regardless, the greatest gain from this battle was Bian Ruxue’s sudden insight, her Sword Intent moving toward Perfection. If she can use this to understand the Dao, it will be worth more than this fleeting glory.

After all, the journey of cultivation is long, and momentary setbacks mean little.

“It’s better this way, saving all the trouble. I only want first place; I’m not interested in the rest!”

Chi Guang was very satisfied with Buddha Venerate’s statement. As he spoke, his gaze shifted to the Buddha Child twins, and noticing their indifference toward him, his gaze then landed on Li Hao.

“It’s time for you to take back your big talk!”

Chi Guang said to Li Hao, his demeanor indifferent and carrying a condescending air.

Li Hao did not respond; the other party was beneath his notice.

“If you wish to contend for first place, come onto the stage. The rest should temporarily withdraw.”

A Buddha Sect Semi-Saint spoke out loud.

The ten contestants exchanged looks; no one stepped down. The three Buddha Sect Saint Sons turned their gaze towards Li Hao, with one saying:

“We cultivate our minds and natures, uninterested in competing for first place, only wishing to vanquish demons and defend the Dao!”

“That’s right, as a Demon Practitioner, you should return to your own Demonic Path!”

“Chanting scriptures and cultivating merits are solely for exorcising demons, clearing the world of darkness. I may not be the first, but you, as a follower of the Demonic Path, must not entertain the illusion of claiming it either!”

The three Buddha Sect Saint Sons’ eyes were cold and direct, their bodies radiating Buddha light, staring straight at Li Hao.

Li Hao, hearing these words, actually felt the urge to laugh, unsure whether they had recited their scriptures too deeply, or if they had other motives. He said:

“There’s no need for such bluster; all of you come at me together. Since you claim I follow the Demonic Path, then make sure not to lose to me, otherwise what sutras are you reciting, what Buddha are you cultivating?”

Upon hearing Li Hao’s words, surprise and anger flickered in the eyes of the three. They were all among the top contenders, elites among the Saint Sons, yet Li Hao treated them with such disregard.

“You’re mine.”

Chi Guang addressed Li Hao.

Li Hao looked back coldly and said: “You can join them, you won’t make a difference!”

Chi Guang was momentarily taken aback, his sneering face suddenly darkened and he said: “This time, not even a Buddha Sect Semi-Saint can save you!”

As he spoke, his whole body burst into dazzling and intense flames, and the temperature of the entire battle stage began to rapidly rise.

The Buddha Sect Semi-Saint was somewhat helpless; these people were arrogant and quick to act, truly with little concern for decorum or rules.

Lin Shuhai smiled subtly but said nothing, simply turning and flying down from the stage, yielding it for the fight.

Seeing this, the others also descended from the battle stage, not intervening in this clash.

However, Lin Qingyue’s figure flickered, moving to Li Hao’s side, drawing her sword to stand ready, clearly intending to face the challenge alongside Li Hao.

Li Hao glanced at her and said softly: “Leave, don’t get dragged down by me.”

“What’s wrong with being a Demon Practitioner? What if I really accompanied you in Cultivating Demons?”

Lin Qingyue held her sword, her gaze directed at the three Buddha Sect Saint Sons.

Hearing her words, the complexions of the three Buddha Sect Saint Sons changed. Lin Qingyue was different from Li Hao; she was the saintess of the Sword Ancestor Holy Land, with the backing of her Holy Land Sect.

Li Hao, upon hearing her words, felt a jolt in his heart, turning to look at her. Amidst the scorching waves of heat, her hair fluttered, yet her eyes were bright and resolute.

Her stunning, peerless visage deeply impressed upon Li Hao’s vision. He watched her seriously for a moment, then lowered his head, speaking to Xiyan on his wrist:

“Return to the Heaven and Earth Space for now.”

Xiyan, sensing the imminent battle, said to Li Hao: “Be careful.”

As she spoke, she quickly burrowed back through the spatial rift opened by Li Hao, knowing her presence would only hinder him.

Only then did Li Hao look up at the three Buddha Sect Saint Sons and Chi Guang, who was blazing with crimson flames like a fiery deity, the corners of his mouth revealing a faint smile:

“It seems I’ve given you too much, and you do not appreciate it.”

“Nonsense, what have you ever bestowed upon us?”

One of the Buddha Sect Saint Sons angrily retorted.

Li Hao extended his hand into the Heaven and Earth Space, drawing out a pitch-black merit, saying:

“I’ve given you too much face!”

As he spoke, the Heaven and Earth Vein abruptly materialized behind him, like a pillar connecting the heavens, enveloping the atmosphere in all directions of the battle stage.

Then, with ferocious extraction, his physique cultivated to the Power Transmission Ultimate Realm, his Divine Blood capable of accommodating more power than others of the same level, thus the extraction speed of the Heaven and Earth Vein’s power was also more vast. An energy storm, tangible in nature, rose up behind Li Hao, swirling around the youth.

Confronted with such a frightening scene, everyone was shocked.

Despite also being in the second Extreme Realm of the Heaven and Earth Vein, Li Hao’s display was clearly more powerful and imposing.

Chi Guang’s eyes narrowed, his expression becoming grave as he said: “Come on, let’s see what you’ve got!”

Standing in the Fire Domain, surrounded by flames that barely concealed a phoenix’s silhouette, a golden spear appeared in his hand, as if forged from magma and showing signs of cracking gold patterns.
