Chapter 304: Wu Hao VS Heavenly Dao

Meanwhile, in an ethereal space, an illusory figure sat cross-legged in the air, appearing to be fast asleep. In the next second, with Wu Hao's arrival, its eyes suddenly snapped open, and it looked at Wu Hao, speaking calmly.

"Human, leave."

"Human? I should be a god by now, right?"

Wu Hao thought with some surprise. The very meaning of life was to progress toward a higher level of existence. Whether it was humans or Yao Beasts, it was just that their manifested forms were different.

Hearing the Heavenly Dao's words, Wu Hao was only slightly taken aback, but he did not care too much. He looked at the Heavenly Dao and said slowly,

"I am here to make a deal with you."

Hearing this, the Heavenly Dao did not hesitate at all and directly attacked Wu Hao. The Heavenly Dao itself was a completely selfless existence, a program meant to maintain the existence of the Upper Realm. Only a very small number of Heavenly Daos could birth their own intelligence, and Wu Hao did not know whether the Heavenly Dao before him had birthed its own intelligence.

But Wu Hao had no time to worry about that now. Since the Heavenly Dao had already made a move, he wasn't going to foolishly stand there and take the hit.

Thus, as the Heavenly Dao appeared before Wu Hao, an immortal sword appeared in Wu Hao's hand, directly blocking the Heavenly Dao's punch.

But even so, the terrifying power of the Heavenly Dao still left Wu Hao dumbfounded. One had to know that he was currently at the Earth God Early Stage, yet even so, he was shocked by the Heavenly Dao's power, showing just how powerful the Heavenly Dao was.

When the Heavenly Dao saw that Wu Hao could actually block its punch, a flash of surprise appeared on its face. In the next second, its figure rapidly retreated, and a Long Spear materialized in its hand as it charged at Wu Hao once again.

Seeing this, a surge of Battle Intent rose in Wu Hao's heart.

"Good timing! I'd like to see what level of existence my current strength can fight against!"

With that, Wu Hao also charged toward the Heavenly Dao. In the next second, the two collided. The terrifying aftershocks would have been too much for an Immortal Emperor—no, let alone an Immortal Emperor, even a god, a True God, would probably be unable to withstand it for even an instant and would be instantly annihilated.

Fortunately, this was the Heavenly Dao Space, a world on a different level from the Upper Realm. Otherwise, it would have taken only a few minutes to shatter the entire Upper Realm and annihilate the world.

But even so, some of the terrifyingly powerful existences in the Upper Realm sensed something. An inexplicable anxiety rose in their hearts, as if some terrifying event was about to occur.

"What on earth happened to make us feel this faint sense of unease?"

Qin Zijun said with a grave expression. Hearing this, Li Pangtian and Jun Xiaoyao couldn't help but look at him. This made him instantly realize that whatever could cause such a massive disturbance in the Upper Realm was either the Blood Emperor or Senior Wu.

But right now, it was clearly not the Blood Emperor, so Senior Wu was the only option left.

"Alright, we must have faith in Senior Wu. But right now, our most important task is to first complete what Senior Wu entrusted to us. Let's go find Lu Ren and Zhang Jie to explain everything first."

With that, Li Pangtian looked at the Inverse God Holy Land before him and walked straight inside.

Meanwhile, on the other side, the Blood Emperor also sensed something unusual, and his expression became incredibly grave.

"Father, did something happen?"

"It's nothing. I hope I'm just overthinking it."

The Blood Emperor gently shook his head, not voicing his worries. He just felt as if some highly unsettling event was about to happen.

But he possessed the Divine Artifact bestowed upon him by Lord Blood God. Who could possibly hurt him? Moreover, Lord Blood God was a supreme existence even within that vast and boundless Divine Realm. He did not believe anyone would risk offending Lord Blood God to make a move against him.

Meanwhile, within the Heavenly Dao Space, the battle between Wu Hao and the Heavenly Dao had reached a boiling point. Wu Hao also hadn't expected that even with the amplification of the Heavenly Emperor Myriad Dao Scripture, fighting an Earth God Peak Heavenly Dao would still be so exhausting.

But if the Heavenly Dao knew his thoughts, it would probably curse up a storm. An Earth God Early Stage fighting an Earth God Peak, suppressing them in combat, and doing so against the Heavenly Dao itself—to be able to fight to this extent was already incredibly impressive.

The Heavenly Dao was inherently the supreme existence of a world. Unless it was completely obliterated, the world would continuously provide the Heavenly Dao with an endless stream of power. In other words, fighting a war of attrition against the Heavenly Dao in its own world was simply suicidal.

Yet after fighting for so long, Wu Hao showed absolutely no signs of depleting his Divine Power, which utterly shocked the Heavenly Dao.

But before the Heavenly Dao could recover from its shock, Wu Hao seized a flaw in its defense and sliced off half of its body with a single sword strike. This caused the Heavenly Dao's brow to furrow. Its Long Spear thrust violently at Wu Hao, using the force of Wu Hao's block to push itself back and open up some distance.

In just the blink of an eye after gaining distance, the Heavenly Dao's lower body grew back. However, its face was somewhat pale. After all, what Wu Hao's sword had severed earlier was its Origin; recovering from that naturally severely depleted its Origin Qi.

Wu Hao, who hadn't even fought to his heart's content yet, was about to charge at the Heavenly Dao again when the Heavenly Dao hastily put away its Long Spear and waved its hands.

"Stop fighting, stop fighting! If we keep fighting, I'm going to die!"

Hearing this, Wu Hao was momentarily stunned. He hadn't expected the Heavenly Dao to actually say something like this, but he did not attack again.

After all, he didn't actually plan to destroy the Heavenly Dao and create a new one; that would be far too much trouble. Thus, unless absolutely necessary, Wu Hao would not destroy the Heavenly Dao.

Furthermore, judging by the Heavenly Dao's words, it seemed to possess self-awareness, so the upcoming negotiations would likely go much more smoothly.

And judging from this battle with the Heavenly Dao, Wu Hao also gained a relatively clear understanding of his current strength. That is, unless he encountered an enemy of a higher major Realm, he was essentially invincible.

Seeing that Wu Hao had no intention of continuing the fight, the Heavenly Dao also breathed a sigh of relief, then looked at Wu Hao and asked,

"Senior, I wonder what business you have with me?"

After being thoroughly subdued by Wu Hao, the Heavenly Dao instantly changed its tune, approaching Wu Hao with a highly fawning expression.

Wu Hao felt quite uncomfortable with the Heavenly Dao's sudden shift, saying with a look of slight disgust,

"I still prefer your previous arrogant and unyielding look. You should change back."

The Heavenly Dao's current appearance was like an aloof, handsome guy who turned out to be a total simp once you got to know him, making it quite hard to stomach.

Hearing this, the Heavenly Dao coughed once, then looked at Wu Hao, its aura shifting accordingly.

"Since Senior wishes it, then I shall change back. I wonder what business Senior has with me?"

Seeing the Heavenly Dao return to normal, Wu Hao finally breathed a sigh of relief and explained the purpose of his visit.

And upon hearing Wu Hao's purpose, the Heavenly Dao's expression also grew grave.
