Chapter 584: Battle against Yuanhao's clone!
Zhou Hao grabbed out twenty-nine times in succession, creating afterimages.
Not a single Dao Venerable was spared; all were instantly refined by Zhou Hao, becoming part of his own being.
Zhou Hao was like an ancient being from the dawn of Chaos, wantonly displaying his own power and might!
With the refinement of twenty-nine Dao Venerables, Zhou Hao’s cultivation progress immediately surged by a significant margin.
Especially that Fifteen-Fusion Dao Venerable; the intensity of his origin was exceptionally good, making Zhou Hao feel temporarily overstuffed.
He sat cross-legged with his two-light-year-tall body, refining these Dao Venerables’ generous gifts on the spot.
“Tsk tsk, this path of mine feels even more bloodthirsty than Lin Feng’s Slaughter Dao!”
Zhou Hao marveled at his own transformation. All thirty Dao Venerables possessed profound foundations and held an immense number of treasures. All of these had become his nourishment, yet it still wasn’t enough.
Zhou Hao pulled out over a hundred tokens.
“These are competition tokens, totaling one hundred and thirty now. Master said one token yields ten thousand Chaos Jade as a reward. That’s 1.3 million Chaos Jade right there!”
Zhou Hao was very satisfied. Among all resources, only Chaos Jade Marrow provided the fastest and most stable improvement. Moreover, the further one progressed, the less effective other resources became, while Chaos Jade Marrow remained effective all along.
Just as Zhou Hao was pondering where to acquire more tokens, a figure rapidly approached from afar.
Zhou Hao narrowed his eyes.
“Venerable Yuanhao?”
Zhou Hao’s expression changed.
He was aware of this guy—currently known as the number one powerhouse under the Dominator level in the known Chaos!
This supreme expert was personally making a move against him? Wasn’t that giving him too much face?
When Venerable Yuanhao saw Zhou Hao, he also showed a look of surprise.
“What a formidable physique!”
Venerable Yuanhao could see a layer of body treasure light surrounding Zhou Hao—a radiance naturally emitted when the physical body reached an extreme level of strength.
Originally, he thought he could casually handle Zhou Hao upon his arrival. But his keen eyes soon discovered that Zhou Hao had already advanced to the quasi-Dominator realm!
“He reached the quasi-Dominator realm this quickly?”
Venerable Yuanhao’s expression also turned grave.
This avatar of his might not necessarily be able to keep Zhou Hao here anymore.
The quasi-Dominator realm wasn’t a true cultivation stage. However, the power gap between a Dominator and a Dao Venerable was simply too vast. Merely stepping onto the path of a Dominator created an insurmountable chasm in strength compared to a Dao Venerable, thus forcibly creating this quasi-Dominator realm.
Therefore, even though this avatar possessed the strength of an Eighteen-Fusion Dao Venerable, facing a quasi-Dominator who had advanced from a Twelve-Fusion base, victory was not assured.
Zhou Hao also quickly realized that the one who arrived was not Yuanhao’s true body.
Zhou Hao laughed heartily, “I heard Venerable Yuanhao is currently hunting my junior brother Zhan Tian. Seems you haven’t succeeded yet, huh? Now you’ve set your sights on me, thinking I’m an easy target, right?”
“I admit I underestimated you, advancing to the quasi-Dominator realm so quickly. But you’ve just barely stepped into it. How much could your strength have truly increased?”
“Tsk, look at you, underestimating people again!” Zhou Hao sneered.
Even as he jested, Zhou Hao was the first to strike.
He took a single step, instantly traversing thousands of light-years, arriving directly before Venerable Yuanhao. A fist shot straight out, smashing towards Yuanhao.
The power of the twelve Dao Principles in the surrounding heavens and earth naturally converged onto that single fist.
Within the fist, he also mobilized the full power of his body—all the power contained within his Little Chaos, concentrated into a single point.
Venerable Yuanhao’s pupils contracted. The quasi-Dominator realm spear in his hand also thrust fiercely towards the incoming fist.
Upon contact, terrifying power surged forth from the fist, acting upon the spear. It directly scattered all defensive energies on the spear, wrenching it from Yuanhao’s grip and sending it flying tens of thousands of light-years away in an instant.
Yuanhao’s body was also sent flying, tumbling end over end tens of thousands of times before finally stopping.
Yuanhao beckoned with his hand, and the distant spear appeared in his grasp out of thin air. His expression grew even more solemn.
Zhou Hao, however, was surprised. Under his full-force strike, he had only managed to repel the opponent, not inflict any actual damage.
“Strong!”
Zhou Hao exclaimed in admiration. Then, with a thought, a compass flew out from within his body, hovering above his head.
A beam of light shone down upon Zhou Hao.
His body instantly underwent a tremendous transformation. In the blink of an eye, he turned into a Golden Tiger over ten light-years tall!
The fur covering his entire body was golden, and his eyes gleamed with sharp, piercing golden intent.
Zhou Hao then roared and leaped out, swiftly pouncing towards Venerable Yuanhao.
Venerable Yuanhao also activated the Body Manifestation technique, enlarging his body to three light-years in size. However, the essence of his body remained unchanged; it was still a conventional Dao Venerable physique. This form simply made combat smoother.
The spear, now five light-years long, stabbed fiercely towards the pouncing Golden Tiger.
The Golden Tiger dodged nimbly, creating tens of thousands of phantom images within a range of thousands of light-years. Occasional clashes occurred, each time breaking contact immediately.
The tiger’s claws were sharp and hard, clashing with the spear tip dozens of times without losing ground.
The more they fought, the more alarmed Venerable Yuanhao became.
Zhou Hao’s transformation seemed identical to a genuine ancient Golden Tiger in every aspect—aura, physical body strength, innate divine abilities, comprehension of Dao Principles—all had reached the level of a true ancient Golden Tiger, perhaps even surpassing it!
Under the repeated impacts of the tiger claws, his spear actually began to show faint cracks. Although they could be repaired in an instant, it signaled his gradual descent into a disadvantageous position.
Venerable Yuanhao’s gaze sharpened. Seizing an opportunity, he unleashed his quasi-Dominator-level Chaos Daoist technique.
The spear pierced through the air, instantly traversing space to strike Zhou Hao!
Zhou Hao was hit, pinned within the Voidless.
Zhou Hao’s expression changed. His body transformed again, instantly becoming a Shadow Rat. Less than one light-year in height, the Shadow Rat was extremely small and agile. Its specialty was the Yin-Yang Dao Principle. His body transformed into Yin and Yang energies, forcibly expelling the spear from his form.
However, the injuries within his body remained severe.
In the next instant, Zhou Hao transformed again, this time into an Azure Dragon.
The abundant Life Dao Principle power within his body immediately began repairing his injuries, rapidly restoring his strength.
Zhou Hao’s successive transformations caused Yuanhao’s face to darken repeatedly.
With each change, it was as if he was facing an entirely new quasi-Dominator. Combat style, mastered Dao Principles—everything underwent earth-shattering changes. Such an opponent was truly troublesome.
A slight deduction made it clear: once Zhou Hao’s realm and strength advanced further, he would be able to master all these forms simultaneously in his human form. That would be when he became truly unbeatable.
“Have I become a training partner?” Venerable Yuanhao instantly realized his current situation.
He couldn’t kill Zhou Hao anytime soon. Instead, he was merely helping Zhou Hao gain combat experience and master his Dao Principles and physical body.
How could this be allowed?
Yuanhao’s mind turned to retreat. Staying here was useless now. It was better to just leave.
