Star Gate

Li Hao’s presence immediately returned to its peak. Five thousand dao rules!

Countless Silver Moon martial masters flew backward into Li Hao’s dao world. The young man was already formidable without integrating them, now he was even more domineering!

It took another blink of an eye for time to fall apart and ten thousand daos to appear.

Li Hao appeared in the secret realm with a wave of his hand. He boomed through Allheaven Hall, “Fellow exalted emperors, are you willing to kill ninth ranks with me?”

The cultivators who’d participated in the earlier battle and some who’d only heard of that conflict bubbled over with excitement.

Ninth rank??

It’d been Reincarnation last time, and now it was... Calamity?!

Ten thousand exalted emperor shadows roared, “We are willing and hope for the dao master to grant us our wish!!”

What a rare opportunity!

They would only lose some mental strength if they died. But if this succeeded, being able to personally participate in the execution of ninth ranks would be the highlight of a lifetime. Some of them had missed out on this opportunity last time.

They would not do so this time!

It took only a moment, but almost none of the exalted emperors inside Allheaven Hall refused. Some of the ones that were part of the previous experience rushed toward their chosen world without needing instructions from Li Hao.

“Choose a world that maps to your cultivation attribute!” they shouted. “Those of similar attributes can share a world...”

They were so orderly that it couldn’t be believed!

This was an opportunity that people would go mad over. As for revenge from a ninth rank, who cared?

Do you know who I am?

Can you even locate me?

......

Li Hao’s presence exploded, as did his radiant smile broaden. He vanished on the spot.

He was much more powerful this time compared to last, and more aggressive as well. He possessed five thousand dao rules himself, and was even stronger now thanks to more exalted emperors participating.

A portion of the eighth ranks was also joining Li Hao. That raised the young man to unprecedented heights.

If the Calamity master still possessed spirit, then no degree of integration would be effective. Li Hao would reach seven or eight thousand dao rules at most, which would still be ineffective against Calamity’s replica. But now...

Li Hao’s eighth ranks were in sorry shape when the young man reappeared. No matter how weakened Calamity’s replica had become, it was still a powerhouse that neared eight thousand dao rules at the end of the day.

Regular eighth ranks could not bring him down!

But after Li Hao appeared, Calamity frowned and... abruptly turned tail to run.

He knew that his replica stood no chance against the young man, but it might be useful to ensure its survival. After the demise of his spirit, he was no longer invincible in the chaos. He’d had hopes of killing Li Hao’s group in the beginning, but felt a certain sense of threat when the young man rejoined the battlefield.

“Trying to escape? You’re a ninth rank, Calamity, what are you running for? Are you that much of a piece of trash?” Li Hao’s laughter rang throughout the void. All of the ten thousand exalted emperors part of his worlds were extremely agitated.

A ninth rank was on the run! He was afraid!

This was the legendary master of calamity dao, but he was fleeing!

They didn’t care if he was only here in replica form, a ninth rank was a ninth rank. He’d been scared off by Li Hao! He was a dishonor to himself!

“Are you fit to obstruct my dao? You’re worthless!” A longsword appeared with Li Hao’s shout, as did the myriad of worlds combined. Countless thunder and lightning swung with the stroke.

A chaos tribulation was upon them!

“I smite you with the dao of calamity!” roared the young man. “You are but a false calamity!

The sword swung!

Calamity’s eyes widened and he whipped his head back. He scowled to see chaos tribulations form. He’s trying to kill me with my own dao??

That bastard!

“Li Hao!” snarled Calamity. Endless thunder tribulations appeared when he punched. “This seat is just a replica! There is no need to be this arrogant even if you have the first mover advantage...”

I am just a replica!

What is there to be cocky about if you defeat a replica without spirit?

A myriad of tribulations descended!

Sword qi raced for the heavens and chaos strength surged. Even the chaos dao began to show itself since Li Hao seemed to have transformed into a dao spirit. When he struck, the dao strength that Calamity’s replica wielded began to recede!

How can this guy have a higher command of my dao than me?? In the absence of dao, it should come down to level of familiarity. How can Li Hao know calamity dao better than me!?

There was no time to dwell on the matter. The sword descended and ten thousand thunderbolts crashed into him!

Rumble...

It might be the first time in his life that the Calamity master ever tasted the pain of a chaos tribulation. It was so overwhelming that his replica began to crumble and his dao strength disperse. There was nothing he could do against it!

“Li Hao...” The man wanted to say something else when Li Hao appeared and stabbed a sword into his head.

“There’s no need for final words, your primary body is still alive!” he chuckled. “You can tell me that next time, when I kill your primary body!”

Calamity’s replica fully shattered. A shadow appeared in response, one that glared with some fury and bitterness!

Damn it!

He actually broke my replica! Li Hao singlehandedly ruined my plan to return! I’ll have his head for this!

The tribulations descended once more and obliterated the replica’s shadow with a rumble. Calamity’s replica had died to his own dao!

......

“Pfft!” Calamity’s primary body spat out a mouthful of blood and a large sum of dao strength. Hot killing intent blazed out of his eyes. Exalted emperors around him closed their eyes, as if they’d never been awake. He hated them for their actions, but could do nothing about it.

It wasn’t just Li Hao who had killed his replica, these assholes had played a major part in things as well.

Damn them all!

Calamity flicked a look out of the corner of his eye at the Skyward master. He was... actually praying that the latter’s replica would be killed as well. Everyone needed to be on the same starting point again, or he would never accept this.

If it wasn’t for being weaker than the other, he’d even want to interfere with Skyward’s primary body in order to level the playing field.

“Li Hao...” growled Calamity before shutting his eyes. You want to kill my primary body?!

In your dreams!

Your death is at hand when I return again!

......

Calamity’s replica was dead.

Li Hao ignored everything aside from devouring the strength of calamity dao. When he’d absorbed everything, he shot for Skyward.

Chaos Sky was already on his way there. Whether or not they could dispatch the Skyward master was key. Otherwise, killing Calamity would be completely ineffective.

......

Skyward.

Pitched battle was in full swing.

The Skyward master’s dominance far eclipsed that of Calamity’s. Calamity was eight thousand dao rules at most and rivaled Long Zhan when he lacked a dao spirit.

Well, fine, that made him strong enough.

And yet, he was a far cry from Skyward.

The Skyward master possessed almost nine thousand daos. His dao spirit was also present apart from that. If measured in terms of an eighth rank, he might exceed nine thousand daos or have even reached eighth rank!

This level of strength was beyond the abilities of everyone on the battlefield.

A ninth rank was invincible, as was their replica. Only in Skyward major world was that showcased to its utmost.

Calamity... was noticeably one step beneath Skyward.

Only the Skyward master was needed to toy with the Human King, Supreme Zhang, Ash Emperor, Light, Long Zhan, and Red Moon in the palm of his hand...

Space sliced, shook, and disintegrated!

The large group of powerhouses couldn’t even draw near their opponent!

Long Zhan broke through space several times, wanting to force close combat. But he was always shifted away before he arrived at his target location.

The Human King completely ignored personal safety as he threw himself at the Skyward master. And yet, his skill in single combat was useless when he couldn’t get close to his opponent!

The elemental envoys had almost become sidelined audience members. They watched with nothing but rapt adoration. They worshipped their world master!

The Skyward master was indeed incredibly, unbelievably strong. Even though it was just his replica, the powerhouses that’d killed the Skyward exalted emperors like they were mowing down grass couldn’t do anything to him.

The Skyward master hadn’t cared about Calamity’s replica dying. That was just as well. He hadn’t planned on helping the other reawaken at this point in time, so dead was good.

He’d deciphered what Li Hao’s methods were—eliminating spirit!

That was a solid plan of attack. If the young man had employed it against Skyward first... then the Skyward master might’ve suffered from it. How unfortunate for Li Hao that the plan wouldn’t work a second time.

With a prior example to observe, there was no chance that he would fall into the same trap as Calamity had. That was assuming that Li Hao could even employ the same method twice.

The Skyward master felt a certain presence—Chaos Sky. He wasn’t surprised.

“I have no intentions of making enemies out of everyone,” he chuckled. “The four regions were Skyward territory to begin with. There is no doubt about that! I also have no desire to shed blood, despite you guys killing some of my people.

“But I also understand that you are accustomed to reigning supreme and are unfamiliar with migration... Yet I still hope that you can consider the notion of moving out.

“Long Zhan.” The Skyward master was wispy and ethereal. He watched as the dragon repeatedly clawed his way closer and fail each time. “We are not the perpetrators of the chaos beasts’ conditions. It is an inevitable result of the era and the development of the chaos.

“You guys might understand the dao of ninth ranks now, so it is impossible that chaos cultivators are barred from verifying their dao. How is it possible that they abstain from ninth rank just so the chaos beasts can live? Do you understand?”
