Follow the path of Dao from infancy

Chapter 756: Chapter 148 Absorbing Extreme Dao, Semi-Saint Demons_3

The venue was stirred by shocking discussions, with people whispering to each other in private.

Chi Guang, hearing these murmurs, displayed a hint of arrogance in his eyes and indifferently returned to his seat.

When he sat down, he glanced at Li Hao next to him and noticed that Li Hao seemed to be in deep thought, as if pondering something.

The corners of his mouth curved slightly. Feeling the pressure now?

Li Hao contemplated for a while and eventually decided to take out his drawing board.

With such an opportunity, the Saint revealing himself, even if it’s just an incarnate reflection, drawing it could provide considerable experience. The question was whether it would cause offense.

…

If it did cause offense, the other party would likely stop him, with a warning first. He would then cease his actions.

Fortune favors the bold.

Thus, Li Hao began to draw.

“Huh?!”

Seeing Li Hao suddenly take out his drawing board and ink, Chi Guang’s face changed subtly, his eyes fixed on Li Hao for a moment before he withdrew his gaze, no longer looking. But in his sleeve, his fist was quietly clenched…

Li Hao chose to start with a drawing of Literary Saint. Sensing the gaze, Literary Saint looked towards Li Hao, and upon seeing his drawing board and actions, a hint of surprise appeared in his eyes.

But soon after, he thought of something and glanced at Zhan Tan.

Zhan Tan, perceiving the attention of Literary Saint, keenly returned the gaze to Li Hao and was astonished to see Li Hao’s actions. She was rendered speechless.

In these past few months, having discussed paintings with Li Hao every day, she deeply understood the young man’s heartfelt love for the Artistic Path. He had little concern for cultivation, she thought it unlikely he would be so carefree during the tense competition for quotas.

Seeing the twin Buddha Child’s results, didn’t he feel the pressure?

Or was he really just intending to muddle through?

Li Hao saw that Literary Saint made no move to stop him, and his hands quickly resumed the drawing.

Before his turn to fight came, he finally completed his drawing. Sёarᴄh the novёlF~ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

As Li Hao put down his brush and finished the drawing, he saw 160,000 experience points emerge on the panel. A trace of astonishment appeared in his eyes; merely the incarnation’s reflection yielded such vast experience. From the experience gap, it belonged to the rank that could easily suppress a Semi-Saint with just a wave of a hand.

Li Hao’s thoughts shifted, and he looked towards the twin Buddha Child and Lin Shuhai among others. This was a rich source of ‘wool’!

However, with his imminent battle, he had no time for painting and had to put away his drawing board. He then stood up and gave a slight bow to Literary Saint.

Literary Saint, noting Li Hao’s action, revealed a slight smile. Such an unconventional youngster was a first for him to encounter. Plus, he had good etiquette and did not overstep boundaries, clearly well-taught at home.

Out of forty contestants, Li Hao would take his turn at the 35th position.

As Li Hao stepped forward, the venue became somewhat quieter, many held high hopes for this first-ranked contender from the Holy Dynasty.

Although the Heavenly Prides selected in the Holy Dynasty were generally inferior to those from the Holy Land, with the presence of Li Hao and Chi Guang this time, the standard for Holy Dynasty’s Heavenly Prides had been raised.

The previously impressive Su Yun had ranked quite high amongst the Holy Land’s Heavenly Prides, prompting many to reconsider their previous underestimation of these Holy Dynasty talents.

“With Chi Guang securing second place and performing so well, this Qingfeng should be even stronger, right?”

“How could that be? Chi Guang is a dark horse, having concealed his skills before. Haven’t you heard? His true strongest move is the spear!”

“Don’t underestimate this Qingfeng. Even if he’s not as good as Chi Guang, he should finish within five minutes at least!”

“That’s true, after all, suppressing all the Heavenly Prides of the Holy Dynasty and being selected from tens of Holy Dynasties in the Canglan Realm, he must indeed be terrifying.”

The spectators watched with grave expressions, their eyes fixed on Li Hao.

“He’s about to make a move. I wonder what his results will be.”

Li Qingyi’s eyes lit up upon seeing Li Hao. She had also competed earlier, finishing in 13 minutes, but she knew that Li Hao’s result would certainly not be more than ten minutes, at least within three minutes!

Lin Shuhai, hearing the whispered discussions from Li Qingyi and others behind him, looked at the young man with his gentle and calm eyes, his lips curving into an interested smile.

“Feel the gap!”

Chi Guang stared at Li Hao’s back, his eyes filled with cold intent, quite eager to see the expression on Li Hao’s face after his turn.

Li Hao walked onto the stage, not looking around. As soon as the Spiritual Pearl was released, he headed straight for the spatial rift.

Crossing through the rift, Li Hao felt a familiar sense of spatial leaping.

His surroundings changed, and soon he appeared in a desolate land.

Here, barren branches and withered vines covered the sky, resembling a forsaken land of death, permeated with vast amounts of grey death energy.

Li Hao paused, his eyes revealing Divine Light, and he immediately saw that within the grey death energy floated numerous black resentments filled with the will to kill!

A… treasure land?!

Taken aback, Li Hao didn’t expect the post-rift trial to be such a place. To him, it was an unexpected boon!

Sensing the Divine Blood within him, Li Hao didn’t hesitate and quickly started to absorb these murderous resentments.

These were the nutrients needed for the Extreme Path to Saint Ascension.

As the large amount of black resentments gathered around Li Hao like a hurricane, the active Divine Blood within his body absorbed all the black energy, shrouding it.

The Divine Blood, like a miniature prison, locked up the black wisps.

The Divine Blood that sealed the resentments revealed a black streak amidst its golden glow, akin to the pupil of an eye.

Li Hao could feel something extraordinary forming inside, as if about to give birth to some powerful force.

Once all the Divine Blood absorbed enough resentments, a sort of metamorphosis would take place. This metamorphosis was the Extreme Dao becoming a Saint, using the power of slaughter to cultivate the ultimate Saint Path!

As the absorption continued, the mist in the Demon Domain seemed to dissipate much.

Li Hao opened his eyes, the gold in his pupils flashing momentarily before returning to their usual dark hue.
