Chapter 974: Chapter 203: The Immortal Gate in the Starry Sky (9K)_3

Bloodlight surged all over his body, and his palm transformed into a dragon claw, slamming down toward Li Hao’s head.

But the Remnant Blade tore through the bloodlight, piercing his palm before arcing back into Li Hao’s hand.

“What an unbelievably fast blade!”

The Source Ancestor’s eyes narrowed, and even the Divine King’s gaze shifted slightly. Both were somewhat surprised that Li Hao truly wielded a Divine Weapon of such sharpness.

They both knew that the Dragon Saint’s physical body was incredibly robust, second only to Hun Tian, and ranked among the top in All Heavens.

Yet, that Remnant Blade easily pierced his palm, exuding a terrifying sharpness.

As the Remnant Blade returned to Li Hao’s hand, the Dragon Saint’s palm had already regenerated and healed. He lunged forward, determined to engage Li Hao in battle.

The Source Ancestor frowned slightly. Seeing the Dragon Saint’s frenzied state, he worried about disturbing the statue. His Saint Domain suddenly unfolded, seemingly slowing the flow of time. In the next moment, the Dragon Saint’s overwhelming momentum began to wane.

Li Hao’s expression shifted slightly; this was the first time he had seen the Source Ancestor take action.

That Saint Domain seemed to possess the ability to reverse time—it was truly terrifying.

“If you don’t want to die, stay quiet!”

The Divine King turned as well, shouting sternly.

The Dragon Saint, suppressed by the Source Ancestor, had an aura that flickered and dimmed. A phantom image of the Dragon Emperor appeared behind him as he gasped heavily, his eyes bloodshot, teetering on the edge of madness:

“You’re shielding him? You’ll regret this!”

The Source Ancestor ignored him, instead turning his gaze toward the Remnant Blade in Li Hao’s hand. The moment Li Hao had revealed it, the Source Ancestor sensed that it was merely a broken fragment of an Immortal Artifact, lacking an Artifact Soul.

“This weapon of yours, so sharp—it might be a fragment of an Immortal Artifact!”

The Source Ancestor said in a low voice.

“Perhaps. For now, though, it’s simply sharp enough.”

Li Hao replied. By revealing the Remnant Blade, he was also showcasing a part of his own strength, aiming to increase his value in the eyes of the two, discouraging them from acting rashly.

The Divine King glanced briefly before withdrawing his gaze. He had already discerned the blade’s limitations—it had no use beyond its sharpness.

Though it had pierced the Dragon Saint’s palm earlier, it ultimately amounted to little. Such an attack could not kill a Supreme Saint.

Even if pierced ten thousand times, the wounds would heal in an instant.

“It’s just a broken weapon. Against other Three Calamities Saints, it might pose a substantial threat, though.”

The Divine King shook his head, casting a glance at Li Hao. “What luck this one has…”

Still, during his earlier exploration of a side path, he had also recovered some treasures.

“Once we reach the Immortal Divine Road, perhaps you might have a chance to repair it into a true Immortal Artifact in the future.”

The Source Ancestor said to Li Hao.

But to him, it was merely a fragment and thus not especially precious, far inferior to his Seven Tribulation Emperor Weapon.

Besides its sharpness, his Emperor Weapon possessed unique powers and Tribulation Power, enough to threaten even Supreme Saints.

“Dragon Saint, since you intend to enter the Immortal Divine Road, you shall lead the way.”

The Source Ancestor said to the Dragon Saint.

The Dragon Saint glared at the three of them and said, “There’s great danger in there. You want to use me as a pathfinder? Dream on!”

“That’s not up to you!”

The Divine King let out a cold snort, and with almost no words spoken, he and the Source Ancestor reached a tacit agreement. Though bitter enemies, the two acted in unison at this moment to subdue the Dragon Saint.

Li Hao stepped back slightly, inwardly sighing. Indeed, only interests are eternal.

Even mortal enemies of tens of thousands of years could, for the moment, set aside their grievances.

“Using me as a pathfinder—why not him?!”

The Dragon Saint roared, his infuriated voice booming with rage and indignation.

His emotions oscillated wildly, his bloodshot eyes filled with venomous resentment and hatred.

“Because you’re too noisy.”

The Divine King responded coldly. Divine Flame surged from beneath his feet as his Saint Domain intertwined with the Source Ancestor’s Saint Domain. Origin and Destruction—two forces of profound repression—caused the Dragon Emperor’s phantom to dissipate instantly. Even the bloodlight over the Dragon Saint’s body was forced back into his scales, leaving momentary clarity in his eyes.

“You…”

The Dragon Saint was so enraged that he coughed up blood. These two didn’t believe Li Hao had the strength to kill Hun Tian, so the weakest target should logically be Li Hao. Yet they had chosen him instead.

He erupted in resistance, but against the combined might of the Source Ancestor and the Divine King, two of the most dominant forces in All Heavens, his Saint Domain was shattered to pieces. His entire body was suppressed, leaving him utterly helpless to resist.

Li Hao’s palm grew damp with cold sweat. If the Source Ancestor and the Divine King were to join forces against him, he too would have no way to withstand them.

Their combined efforts made it so that not a single soul in All Heavens could escape their suppression.

Yet, alas, there could only be one king.

“Open!”

The Source Ancestor raised his hand, lightly pressing on the statue. Like before, the statue seemed to come alive, exuding an immense oppressive aura.

The Source Ancestor’s expression subtly changed, but his vast knowledge allowed him to discern that the statue wasn’t alive—it merely bore residual traces of its creator’s timeworn presence and was purely meant to intimidate.

With a push of his hand, he moved the statue aside, revealing a pitch-black fissure behind it.

From within that fissure emanated a boundless, ethereal presence. Simultaneously, waves of grim and destructive energy spilled forth, unsettling and unnerving.

“Go!”

The Source Ancestor hurled the Dragon Saint’s body inside before immediately following.

The Divine King likewise quickly passed through.

Li Hao hesitated for a moment but ultimately stepped forward to follow them in.

Upon entering the fissure, Li Hao saw that within lay an expansive starry sky!

At the forefront of this starry sky stood an ancient, towering door.

Intricate and bizarre patterns were etched upon the door. A mere glance at it left Li Hao dizzy, his mind reeling as if it were about to explode, and a wave of nausea surged within him.

“That’s… a door?”

The eyes of the Source Ancestor and the Divine King both changed, followed by an intense glimmer of greed.

They could feel it—a presence even more profound and immense than before, constantly spilling out from that door.
