Lin Qingyue threw Li Hao a congratulatory smile, and Li Hao responded with a slight smile.

Bian Ruxue noticed the eye contact between the two and unconsciously furrowed her eyebrows, her delicate hand tightening slightly.

The Haoyue Saint Son also noticed this and his expression changed slightly, looking rather unpleasant.

As Li Hao stepped down, the top hundred battles continued, and the rest who hadn’t fought yet gradually made their moves.

Earlier, some of the Supreme Saint disciples who had been delaying their battles finally took the stage to defend after Li Hao stepped down.

Many people noticed that these individuals had not defended earlier, seemingly waiting for something; they now realized they had been waiting for Li Hao, harboring the intention to challenge him. However, with Li Hao’s two battles concluded, they had all abandoned such thoughts.

Of course, their change of mind was not entirely due to admitting inferiority; it was more about realizing that winning wouldn’t be easy, and there was no need to go all out at this stage of the tournament.

With the appearance of the Supreme Saint Direct Disciples, the arena once again fell into a lull with no one challenging.

Soon after, Yan Qingchuan and Tian Wuji also took the stage to defend, and having witnessed their power, other contenders for the top hundred from various Holy Lands chose not to act.

Li Hao was also not interested in challenging them as one had to win all three battles to exclude them from the top hundred, and even if he won, blocking just one match wouldn’t make much sense.

Seeing Li Hao not taking the stage to challenge, both Yan Qingchuan and Tian Wuji secretly sighed in relief. If Li Hao were to challenge again, they would likely suffer another defeat, and although it wouldn’t affect their advancement, losing to the same person twice would be somewhat embarrassing.

“It’s too bad Haotian didn’t challenge them!”

“If he had, he could have won again!”

“It seems that Haotian isn’t as arrogant as the rumors suggest; he has a heart capable of patience.”

“Indeed, if it were me, I’d definitely seek revenge!”

Seeing Li Hao not taking the stage to challenge, many people were surprised, and their impression of Li Hao changed significantly.

Soon after, the top hundred battles were concluded.

Although a few people were absent, out of over three hundred contenders, only a hundred advanced.

Those Heavenly Prides who had labored in their own little worlds and sprinted all the way to this supreme platform of the All Heavens, faded like passers-by through fleeting clouds, leaving no trace and barely remembered by anyone.

The Source Ancestor Sacred Land announced the top hundred list and immediately released the subsequent rules.

The competition is to be held in three days, giving the top hundred Heavenly Prides time to recuperate.

Not everyone, after all, had won as effortlessly as Li Hao and the Supreme Saint disciples; some had used certain secret techniques during the top hundred battles, which took a great toll on their bodies, necessitating time to recover.

“In three days, it will be the battle for the top ten, which is bound to be even more intense!”

“Definitely, this top hundred battle was merely an appetizer. There were some impressive fights, but the ones involving Haotian, Mixed Heaven Sacred Land, and Yin Yang Sacred Land’s Yan Qingchuan overshadowed the others.” S~eaʀᴄh the novёlF~ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

“Indeed, only that confrontation truly dazzled me, making my scalp tingle.”

“The top-tier Heavenly Prides are indeed much stronger than the rest; their Dao Domains and Laws, Dharma Aspects, and skills are incomparable to other Heavenly Prides. Just the Dao Entrance Level techniques alone included three kinds, which is terrifying. What’s even more frightening is that they still lost!”

The top hundred battle finale left countless people reminiscing, and the subsequent discussions became even more heated, with everyone looking forward to the battle for the top ten.

Previously, many Supreme Saint disciples defended without challengers, which was disappointing to many, but understandable as they themselves, if competing, wouldn’t recklessly challenge such formidable opponents.

Atop Saint Mountain, the crowd dispersed, and their Saints in the background also returned to the Saint Dojo arranged by the Source Ancestor Sacred Land to rest.

These Saints personally attended to watch the younger generation’s competition. While watching was secondary, their primary purpose was to ensure the safety of their most exceptional disciples.

Otherwise, should someone covertly harm the most formidable disciples, investigating the incident afterward would be futile.

During the brief three-day rest period, the entire Heavenly Origin Realm was as lively and bustling as though celebrating a festival, while Li Hao returned to his small courtyard. No visitors came to see him during these three days, allowing him to continue his daily cultivation quietly.

He absorbed the Law Power integrating it into his body while contemplating the Saint Dao Seed, seeking to truly perceive the essence of his inner core.

Many are fools in this world, yet few truly perceive their own hearts.

In his meditation, time flew swiftly. Although he had not glimpsed the essence of the Saint Dao after three days, his body experienced some transformations as the Laws condensed and Daoist Charm gathered; his bones underwent a metamorphosis, evolving from Divine Bones to Dao Bones!

Dao Power is indelible, meaning that his bones could not be instantly destroyed!

Unless one slowly wore away the Dao Power within his bones with Saint Dao Power, allowing it to gradually disperse, they could not be shattered directly with thunderous force!

This difference enhanced Li Hao’s survival ability by yet another level.

The three days passed in the blink of an eye.

Again, countless people swarmed back to the top of Saint Mountain, taking their places early in their respective seating areas.

Li Hao along with other Loose Cultivators and top hundred contenders from various realms also arrived at the waiting area.

Upon seeing Li Hao arrive, many still looked over at him, their gazes solemn.

The previous top hundred battle was subject to voluntary participation; however, the battle for the top ten was not up to them to arrange, with only ten spots available, collisions were inevitable.
