Star Gate-Chapter 1128: Massacre (IV)

Boom!

Zheng Gong was sent flying by the punch and wanted to strike back, but the aura of the world pressed down on him. A cage manifested out of nowhere and trapped him within.

‘Li Hao’ strode into it with a laugh. “This is a domain of the five elements. I reign invincible within it!”

One punch—bam!

Tiger Roar Through Mountain and Woods!

The young man punched like a tiger pouncing on its prey, snapping Zheng Gong’s arm into two. The Zheng second son stared incredulously at himself. He wanted to run, but he couldn’t leave!

“Kill!” he shouted. “Kill them all and break this thing...”

“Ape of the fire heart, apes are invincible as well!” An ape howled with the young man’s next move and the punch split Zheng Gong open.

“Tiger of the water kidneys, a tiger’s howl shakes the heavens!”

Tiger claws manifested and clawed off Zheng Gong’s other arm, striking again to puncture his chest. The man simply found it incredible and wanted to strike back, but was immediately suppressed by his opponent.

“I swallow the power of the five elements and therefore command the elements. My control is more adept than my disciple’s! If he can slay Saints, so can I!”

The five elements erupted in unison and the cage further compressed the space within. Boom!

The two were almost face to face, body to body.

‘Li Hao’ suddenly hugged, or rather locked the other into place. He grinned radiantly. “The technique of the bear hug is most suited for close quarters combat. Break!”

BOOM!

An enormous collision rang out; the five dragons immediately churned their target’s body to pieces. Zheng Gong flew into a panic!

“How dare you... I can spare you and set this matter aside if you retreat now... How dare you kill me?! My father is a half step emperor and will be invincible in the world when the second awakening begins...

“Li Hao... Yuan Shuo, there is another exalted emperor sealed within this world—the one from Red Moon major world! My father will not let this go if I die. Only in partnership can we jointly take on the Red Moon exalted emperor. Only there lies our path of survival...”

“But it’s not the second awakening yet,” Yuan Shuo’s cackle emitted from Li Hao’s mouth. “You can sit back and wait for your father to avenge you. Right now, we’ll have our revenge on you first!”

“Bastards, you were the ones who attacked Boundless...”

‘Li Hao’ grinned again. “Why would we have attacked you if it wasn’t for you forcing our backs against a wall and wanting to kill us no matter what?”

Zheng Gong’s shadowy form reappeared, he was truly frantic now. Yuan Shuo’s battle strength had increased explosively after he absorbed the five elements and melded with Li Hao’s ‘dao’ character. In contrast, Zheng Gong had declined from peak fighting condition.

His body was further churned to pieces, so the situation was very dire for him. He snarled with fury and summoned the city lord seal, commanding it to burst with rays of light!

The ‘dao’ character burrowed into the city lord seal—Li Hao’s will. He saw a shadowy figure within and exhorted, “Supreme Zhang, are you going to aid and abet tyrants to do evil?”

The note of great dao reverberated!

The shadowy figure shook in the seal, seeming to come awake. It lacked a spirit before, but now seemed to contain a hint of sentience. When its empty eyes opened, it saw through everything.

The great seal sighed as an imperceptible sigh filled it. It shook and crumbled apart, the pieces landing on the ground with a thud.

Zheng Gong’s mental force dissipated for a split second; he could not believe what had just occurred. “How is this possible... the city lord seal lacks a spirit...”

It was just a weapon! The supreme had not infused it with any spirit, how could it break apart on its own?

This was impossible!

His mental strength was gravely damaged as a result.

“Traitors... do not receive aid in any era,” Li Hao said slowly in his own voice. “Only punishment is meted out!”

“You... should die!” echoed Yuan Shuo’s voice.

KABOOM!

The five elements filled the world with their detonation!

Zheng Gong wailed, then burst out in magical laughter. “You can’t kill me... you can’t kill me! My great dao is hidden, you cannot cut off my core origin dao! I will return when my father returns! Li Hao, Yuan Shuo... you guys can dream on!”

“I said before this battle that I would not sever the dao of those who are not traitors. You, however, must die!”

Heavenly will descended from above. It billowed through the surroundings, shaking the void. The ‘dao’ character manifested once more and captured everything in the world. A massive avenue appeared in the detonation spot with a shadowy figure hovering over it. It opened its eyes wide, shock brimming from them. His Saint dao had been forced out by his enemies! The world itself seemed to reject the great dao and forced it to materialize!

The appearance of the great dao meant impending death!

The great dao was as if a dragon. It trembled, wanting to flee. However, the characters of the five elements appeared and sealed it away. Li Hao—or rather, Yuan Shuo—reached out and grabbed a thin sword from a distance.

Although it no longer shone with luster, it was durable beyond measure. The young man waved it and brought it down on the great dao! ƒreeωebnovel.ƈom

Bam!

It collapsed with a massive rumble. Zheng Gong keened with fury and despair. “This is impossible! I am a Saint! Li Hao, Yuan Shuo, how dare you dispatch my great dao...”

BOOM!

The great dao collapsed!

Zheng Gong’s voice faded away.

It was their first instance of severing a Saint’s great dao. Those who died before either lacked a great dao or severed their own. Those of Red Moon did not possess a core origin great dao, whereas those of New Martial still possessed theirs despite being unable to absorb energy.

But in this moment, Li Hao broke his opponent’s great dao and severed his hope of resurrection. It would have to take the Human King or a great emperor of New Martial to save Zheng Gong now. No one was able to revive a powerhouse with a broken great dao.

Zheng Gong’s core origin dao had snapped!

The battlefield quieted for a split second.

As Li Hao’s eyes regained their clarity, Yuan Shuo’s voice sounded in his mind. “I’m tired and would like to rest for a bit. Don’t be in a hurry to wake me, my good disciple. Don’t be in a hurry to wake any of us. We’ve just fallen asleep. We’ll be back once we’ve slept enough. Be... well... and live... well... my boy!”

Li Hao was silent without a word and incomparably calm. His teacher had fallen asleep. The others were the same—asleep. They were just tired and needed to rest for a bit. There was nothing to it.

There was no response or answer, just a quick disappearance. Li Hao punched and pulverized a Gold Armor. He suddenly threw his head back with a howl and manifested a ferocious tiger. There was no more young man to be seen!

The tiger darted through the battlefield and slapped a Gold Armor to death. It vanished again and slammed another Gold Armor to death!

Immortals were instantly clawed to death. All around the battlefield, the powerhouses that were still alive screamed and yelled with fury. They beat all of the Gold and Silver Armors to death on the spot!

Everyone was in a berserk rage as slaughter and explosions rang throughout the ancient city. Some of the bodies belonged to the enemy, and some belonged to Li Hao’s side. The Immortals and Apexes were also faced with despair now. They began self-detonating as hope left them. Three Saints were dead!

Blood sprayed everywhere as bodies disappeared. Of the tens of thousands in the army, those that were alive were pierced through by rays of sword intent. When all of the living were dead, the dead soldiers would also lose their direction.

It was a slaughter!

There was only bloodshed in sight.

Transformed into a ferocious tiger, Li Hao ripped through multiple Gold Armors and took human form when he reached the city gate. The words of ‘Boundless’ shattered when he punched through them. A formidable strength recoiled in response, but he broke that as well!

The city’s name disappeared, never to be seen again!

The ancient walls shook, as if falling asleep.

Li Hao vanished once more and swiftly executed all of the plant spirits. With the three Saints dead, the outcome of battle was determined!

All was quiet in the world moments later. There weren’t many corpses outside the city, just endless mounds of flesh and blood, countless rivers of blood.

Those who’d survived the battle were covered in wounds. No one said a word. Some light shone out of their eyes when Li Hao landed. The young man... was still alive!

He didn’t say a word for the longest time.

“They’re asleep...” he finally offered slowly.

“That’s right!” Someone nodded emphatically. “They’re so lazy... Once we kill all of the enemies and tally up the deeds and merits, we’ll put a big black mark down by all of their names!”

Li Hao nodded and said softly, “Can you guys still fight? If you can... follow me to deliver a devastating blow to the divine spirits of the west. I want to kill them while I have the daos of the five elements in me. We’ll destroy their army!”

The survivors looked at each other and nodded despite their heavy wounds. “We can fight!”

Li Hao grinned brilliantly, a particularly radiant smile.

“Then we... fight!” He tilted his head back at the sky and threw down a replica.

It held a shattered city seal that commanded the entire city to furiously devour energy from any source it could obtain. Meanwhile, Li Hao’s primary body shattered the void with a punch!

Everyone was sucked into the Hao Cosmos by a strong surge of energy. The young man flew through the dao universe and headed straight for the area of the five elements. There were five great daos there that had not fully shattered.

Those must belong to the divine spirits!

Today, I will slaughter everything!

KABOOM!

The void shattered again from his punch and revealed the city of divine spirits. The ancient city was in his pocket, there was nothing to fear about massacring all of these people now!
