Chapter 421: Chapter 28: The Youth Enters the Great Wilderness_2
Blood splattered, spraying on the nearby trees.
A divine soul burst out from the body of the female demon, looked at Li Hao in terror, then turned and ran away screaming frantically.
Her divine soul burned, erupting at full speed, but Li Hao had already condensed his controlling power into a sword, slashing it out in an instant, tearing her body apart, then quickly splitting the sword Qi to shred her severed divine soul, utterly obliterating it.
All of this happened in the blink of an eye, and this Tao Heart Realm Demon King had already fallen at Li Hao's hands.
Ji Yun Ge, hidden within Li Hao, couldn't help but show a smile on his face upon witnessing this.
In the Mo River, although he saw Li Hao displaying extraordinary talents, it was somewhat due to the lingering will of Li Tianzong secretly blessing him.
Now, the explosive power of Li Hao's true body, along with the skill and strength he demonstrated, were in no way inferior to that in the Mo River, which put his mind at ease and left him satisfied.
He thought that once he helped Li Hao return to the Ji Family, he could introduce him, and if he could get Li Hao to cultivate with the Ji Family, that would be an excellent way to nurture him.
At the moment, as Li Hao killed the female Demon King with his fist, he felt a piercing pain in his knuckles—the venom had touched his fist, corroding his skin.
His own flesh was susceptible to corruption; if it had been an ordinary cultivator of the Three Immortal Realms, their flesh would probably have rotted away, exposing white bones.
Li Hao took a deep breath, not expecting that he would encounter a Demon King's ambush just tens of miles after arriving in the Great Wilderness Heaven.
He looked at the female demon's corpse, her head smashed, but the rest of her body was still intact.
He quickly flew back, arriving at her body, reached out his hand, and absorbed the life essence within her.
The female demon's body rapidly withered, eventually becoming like a wrinkled piece of grey rotten flesh.
Li Hao casually slapped the remains, pulverizing the bones and scattering them, to avoid leaving tracks behind.
After absorbing the life essence of the female Demon King, Li Hao circulated it within his body for refinement, and the stinging sensation on the back of his hand immediately disappeared, and the corrosive decay stopped as flesh regenerated.
He had just come out of the Mo River, with his true body's strength still the same as before the great battle in Liangzhou, his physical body barely comparable to a divine weapon cast seven times.
Now, he had advanced slightly further.
This showed just how potent the female Demon King's venom was; even though his physical body could hardly be gravely injured by a Peerless Technique Realm Demon King like Lu Yuan, she was only of the Tao Heart Realm, yet she had made him bleed!
"To injure me while only at the Tao Heart Realm, is this the might of a Demon King in the Great Wilderness Heaven? It feels even more formidable than those outside," Li Hao muttered to himself.
Ji Yun Ge heard these words and couldn't help but laugh.
To injure an Immortal of the Three Immortal Realms and still be praised?
That's certainly defying the heavens.
However, prodigies in the Ancient Holy Clan are like this, defying odds to slay Demon Kings; in the barren lands beyond, such feats may shock the barbarians, but in the Great Wilderness Heaven, it's merely considered excellent.
But he knew that Li Hao's true strength was not as it seemed, and even among the Ancient Holy Clan, Li Hao was certainly capable of being a prodigy, which was why he valued him so highly!
After dealing with the female demon, Li Hao did not linger and immediately continued on his way.
He possessed the Myriad Attributes, which could conceal his aura, but the noise he made while moving could still attract some demons along the way.
On his journey, Li Hao dealt with two more, but they were both of the Three Immortal Realms, attempting to launch a surprise attack, and he slapped them to death with his hand.
Without any weapons at his side, Li Hao's own body was already at the level of a divine weapon, and his fists and feet possessed tremendous destructive power.
As he hastened on his way, Li Hao was also digesting the memories and martial arts cultivation techniques he brought out from the Mo River.
Due to his memories, these techniques were directly added to the panel, and within the panel, after being deduced through the Seventh Stage of the Physical Body Path, some new cultivation techniques evolved.
For instance, the previously deduced Ten Thousand Blood True Demon Skill had now become the Soul Sacrifice True Demon Skill.
The absorption and refinement of the essence from demons had become more efficient.
This allowed Li Hao's physical body to refine towards its limit even faster.
Ji Yun Ge guided Li Hao, avoiding some of the more perilous forbidden areas within the Great Wilderness Heaven along the way.
Within these places resided well-known Great Demon Kings, and one should not tread lightly there.
Li Hao had no intention of venturing into these areas to hunt; his current urgent task was to return Ji Yun Ge to the Ji Family, and if possible, deep down, he still wished to see that mother of his.
To know of her safety would put his mind at ease as well.
The night was cool as water.
Within the endless expanse of the Wild Heaven Ancient Forest, occasional white bones lay scattered.
A pile of dry leaves and twigs formed a flame, burning on a sturdy branch, yet not igniting it.
The sturdy branch contained abundant moisture and vigorous vitality, making it difficult for ordinary flames to spark a forest fire and ignite these robust ancient trees.
Moreover, the air here was miasmic and damp; without a steady supply of fuel, the flames would quickly extinguish.
Now, beside the fire, Li Hao stopped to rest and adjust his condition.
He leaned against the trunk, took a blade of grass, folded it into a harmonica by his mouth, and began to play softly.
That night, accompanied by moonlight and the Wild Heaven Ancient Tree, the lingering whistle floated gently, then was blocked from spreading by the soundproof barrier Li Hao had set up.
It echoed only among the branches.
His Musical Rhythm experience slowly increased.
This, too, was cultivation.
With nothing around him, unable to delve into painting or chess, only the Musical Rhythm was left for self-entertainment.
Ji Yun Ge stood on the other end of the branch, hands clasped behind his back, gazing at the distant stars and moon, his eyes full of the longing to return home.
In this moment, as he listened to Li Hao's melodious and revolving grass whistle tune amidst the quiet of the moonlit night, the longing in his heart deepened.
He turned to look at the youth, only to find his gaze quietly fixed on the dark ancient forest, lost in thought.
"What's the name of this tune?"
