Chapter 1009: Chapter 209: Divine Bone, Desperate Situation (8K Request for Monthly Tickets)_3

Yes, the fact that the Ancient Demons are summoning suggests there is a war outside.

But it’s unclear whether it’s the Human Race attacking or some other race.

In the True Realm, apart from the Human Race, there are other races. The True Realm is boundlessly vast, populated by the Ten Thousand Clans.

And the Ancient Demon Clan is the public enemy of them all.

“It seems this battlefield is still known to some.”

The middle-aged soldier murmured.

As he spoke, his eyes unexpectedly grew moist.

Li Hao was momentarily stunned. After three years together, it was the first time he saw the other man shed tears.

Facing brutal battles against the Ancient Demons, he never blinked even when injured, yet now his eyes were red with emotion.

Li Hao tried to empathize and was rendered silent as well.

They had fought tirelessly here for countless years, filled with despair about the outside world. Yet now they found that not everyone outside had been annihilated, and this battlefield itself had not been forgotten.

“It seems we must also hurry. This is a rare chance to escape.”

Li Hao said.

The middle-aged soldier snapped back to reality, looked at Li Hao, and nodded solemnly, his emotions stirred.

After Li Hao spoke, he couldn’t help but glance back at the path they had come from.

His eyes flickered slightly, and he stared for a moment before withdrawing his gaze.

In the days that followed, Li Hao and the middle-aged soldier accelerated their eating and drinking pace.

In truth, with their current level of cultivation, they didn’t need food or water to survive. They could endure harsh conditions, absorbing Heaven and Earth Energy to sustain themselves.

Eating and drinking were mere indulgences. Now, however, beyond enjoyment, it served to absorb the Soul Power within the Ancient Demon Flesh to enhance their strength.

Three months later, Li Hao and the middle-aged soldier struck again.

This time, the middle-aged soldier discovered that within the seventh Ancient Demon Territory, there were actually two Ancient Demon Leaders. Yet he didn’t back down. After briefing Li Hao on the situation, he launched a direct attack.

Unlike their first operation, the appearance of two Ancient Demon Leaders nearly resulted in disaster for them. Fortunately, Li Hao’s rapid improvement exceeded the middle-aged soldier’s expectations. He slew many Ancient Demons, buying precious time and turning the tide against their peril.

Now, two Ancient Demon Leaders no longer posed a threat to the middle-aged soldier.

As the middle-aged soldier began his assault, Li Hao stormed into the Ancient Demon Territory as well.

Hundreds of Ancient Demons awaited, but Li Hao showed no fear. Instead, he had the demeanor of a wolf among sheep.

Wielding four broken swords—all found in the cave mansions of various Ancient Demon Leaders along the way—he commanded them in unison. With his current Primordial Spirit Power, he handled them with ease, their speed unmatched.

In an instant, the four swords wreaked havoc within the Ancient Demon ranks.

Before they could form ranks to reinforce their leader, Li Hao ambushed them from behind, cutting through them unyieldingly.

Their Primordial Spirits barely separated before Li Hao’s own Primordial Spirit lashed out, shredding them swiftly.

Terrified, the Ancient Demons united to unleash a Talent Secret Technique, a vast black fog shrouding the area.

Yet Li Hao’s Primordial Spirit erupted with a blazing golden light, cutting directly into the fog. The golden aura scorched through the darkness.

In terms of Primordial Spirit strength, Li Hao felt that he was already superior to the Ancient Demon Leaders.

Before long, the territory fell.

The middle-aged soldier captured one Ancient Demon alive to uncover the reason. It turned out that another Ancient Demon Leader had come to discuss a conscription order.

Both men felt an increasing sense of urgency. After a few days of eating and recuperating, they resumed their assault on other Ancient Demon Territories.

Li Hao stored all the Ancient Demon corpses into the Heaven and Earth Space.

By the time they reached the tenth Ancient Demon Territory, Li Hao and the middle-aged soldier decided to take a temporary rest.

Li Hao began by cooking the Ancient Demon Leaders, eating them first, followed by the Second-Order Ancient Demons, to speed up his strength enhancement.

The Ancient Demons were massive, and even eating to their limits, they could only consume one per day.

Particularly the Ancient Demon Leaders, whose colossal thousand-zhang bodies resembled mountains. Even though Li Hao and the middle-aged soldier were practically gluttons, their full digestive effort allowed them to consume just half a body per day.

“If this kind of behavior is noticed, and the Ancient Demon Commander personally comes, you must retreat to the Emperor’s Calamity Fake Realm immediately.”

In the territory, the middle-aged soldier, though eating roasted meat, spoke with a heavy expression.

Hearing this, Li Hao contemplated and then said, “Do you have a way to handle it now? If you can deal with the Ancient Demon Commander, I can try to distract the other Ancient Demon Leaders!”

The middle-aged soldier was briefly stunned, surprised by Li Hao’s courage.

“Even with your enhanced Primordial Spirit, the Ancient Demon Leaders are at the True Immortal Level. You should know the difference between immortal power and your inner strength. A mere thread of immortal power can crush a towering peak.”

Shaking his head, the middle-aged soldier continued. Although Li Hao’s power had grown astonishingly over these recent days—progressing from barely managing to slay Third-Rank Ancient Demons to now effortlessly exterminating hundreds of them, and even killing Second-Order Ancient Demons with ease—he reminded him, “As someone with Holy Level Cultivation, to reach this level of power is already exceptional.”

In the former True Realm, prodigies like Li Hao would be regarded as monsters and could apprentice under the top sects.

“Furthermore, you don’t even have a proper weapon. These broken swords you wield were once Immortal Artifacts, but now they’ve dulled. They may still be sharp enough to kill Second-Order Ancient Demons, but against even First-Level Ancient Demons, their hides can’t be pierced!”

Li Hao was aware of this. The sharpness of those broken weapons had played a significant role in his ability to slaughter the Ancient Demons with ease, yet he didn’t plan to rely on them against Ancient Demon Leaders.

Instead, he intended to use his Primordial Spirit for direct attacks and distractions. If the middle-aged soldier could contend with the Ancient Demon Commander, he believed he could barely create a one-on-one opportunity for him.

The key was whether the soldier’s intelligence was accurate. According to him, the number of Ancient Demon Leaders remaining on this road was down to just seven or eight.

“Also, with my current strength, I can’t contend with an Ancient Demon Commander. That’s a True Monarch Level being. You’re not an Immortal Divine, so you wouldn’t know the tremendous gulf between a True Immortal and a True Monarch.”
