Chapter 765: Chapter 151 Buddha Venerate Whispers, Only Me Swordsmanship (Request for Monthly Votes)
Upon hearing Li Hao’s words, Chi Guang raised his eyebrows, his smile receding, and his body suddenly burst into intense red flames:
“Dao Domain of Hundred Layers, it seems you are quite confident. Now let me see for myself how you plan to defeat me in one move!”
His figure leaped, soaring onto the battle platform, ready to confront Li Hao right there.
Seeing this sudden change, cries of surprise arose from the crowd. Were the two top Heavenly Prides from within the Divine Dynasty about to clash head-on at this moment?
Many spectators’ eyes shone brightly, full of expectation.
At that moment, a Semi-Saint from the Buddhist sect spoke coldly:
...
“If it is a contest, there are rules to follow. Do not break the rules. If you want to compete, you can settle it in private after the contest or wait until the battle for the top spot later. Now, it is the battle for the top ten, and the winner should leave the battle platform!”
His voice rang out loud and clear, reverberating like the Hong Bell throughout the city.
Millions of people’s eardrums buzzed, feeling the majestic power of the Saint Dao.
Chi Guang’s eyes turned cold, yet the flames around his body did not extinguish. Being humiliated by Li Hao, a fellow Heavenly Pride, he could not swallow this affront and wanted to teach him a lesson on the spot.
Seeing his words had no effect, the Semi-Saint from the Buddhist sect’s face darkened slightly, his figure abruptly flickered, and he instantly flashed onto the battle platform. His Dharma Aspect wore a Kasaya, exuding solemnity and dignity as he looked down at Chi Guang:
“Benefactor, please do not break the rules!”
Though spoken politely, his words were extremely stern, his eyes containing a golden light of the Saint Dao, like a golden flame.
Chi Guang’s expression changed slightly, feeling the layered aura emanating from the other party increasing steadily, knowing that his intervention meant a direct confrontation with Li Hao was impossible.
“Hmph, I’ll let you go for now!”
A cold light flashed in Chi Guang’s eyes, the aura around his body withdrew, and he turned back to the audience below.
Just as Li Hao was about to make his move, seeing the opponent retreat, the Sword Dao energy gathered in his palm also ceased, and he turned away without looking back.
The two, seated close to each other, went down to the audience without exchanging another glance.
As the battle platform cleared, the Semi-Saint from the Buddhist sect’s expression softened, he gave Li Hao a deep look, his gaze somewhat severe, and then turned back to his original spot, sitting atop a Green Lion.
“What a pity, we almost got to see a good show.”
“Dao Domain of Hundred Layers, that Qingfeng is so arrogant, claiming to take the first place, able to defeat Chi Guang in one move, wondering if it’s true or false.”
“He might be able to defeat Chi Guang, but taking the first place might still be beyond his reach.”
“Isn’t he a Demon Practitioner? Hasn’t he shown his Demonic Path techniques yet? This might not be his full strength!”
“Just because they call him a Demon Practitioner doesn’t make him one. With his strength, does he need to resort to being a Demon Practitioner?”
Demon Practitioners are often spurned in many worlds of All Heavens, making collection of Incense Fire difficult, which for top Heavenly Prides, might not necessarily be beneficial.
Unless born in those minor worlds where the Demonic Path dominates, in those places the Demonic Path is revered, the survival of the fittest is the rule, anything can be utilized, and they only respect the strong, completely indifferent towards the righteous or demonic paths.
“If the Buddha Venerate’s words said by the Saint Heir should not be mere slander.”
“If he really is a Demon Practitioner, how could the Buddha Venerate allow it?”
The crowd below discussed fervently, doubting Li Hao’s identity, many eyes shifting towards the Buddha Venerate seated on the Lotus Platform.
If the Saint Heir could see that Li Hao was a Demon Practitioner, the Buddha Venerate certainly could as well, and if he acknowledges it, then Li Hao’s identity is confirmed.
If he denies it, then it’s the Saint Heir’s malicious slander.
Clearly, the Buddha Venerate also heard these discussions, feeling the attention of thousands focused on him, his expression remained calm, revealing no thoughts, merely saying gently:
“Although Qingfeng has fallen to the Demonic Path, anyone from the Canglan Realm can participate in this Pride of Heaven Battle. Even being a Demon Practitioner, he still qualifies to fight. I hope that Qingfeng does not indulge in such minor paths. After the Pride of Heaven Battle, if he wishes to join my Buddhism, I can personally help him convert.”
Hearing the Buddha Venerate’s words, the whole venue was in uproar, many looking at Li Hao, eyes filled with contempt and disdain.
As the Buddha Venerate personally spoke, it’s considered conclusive evidence.
A chill flashed in Li Hao’s eyes, he looked up directly at the Buddha Venerate, meeting his gaze, Li Hao felt the depth in his eyes, the Buddha’s eyes containing vast myriad radiance, both compassion and indifference.

Li Hao withdrew his gaze, fury uncontrollable in his heart. The opponent’s words were clearly in defense of his own disciple. If he truly could see, he would know that Li Hao was not a Demon Practitioner. On the contrary, he was purifying and saving those with murderous grievances, allowing them to find rebirth and liberation—a good deed!
Only those possessed with Divine Blood could accomplish this.
He remained silent, knowing that arguing was futile. The authority of a Saint outweighed his myriad words—how could the world believe him over a Saint?
In this world where there is good, there must be corresponding evil!
Even if arising from the same source.
Otherwise, how could good be used for gain?
Fortunately, having been previously pursued by the Void Saint, Li Hao had already broken free from idolizing Saints, not too disappointed at this moment, only angry.
Li Hao thought of Ying Xiaoxiao, who was labeled as part of the Demon Race and had already adapted to it.
Thinking about how the Divine Clan in the Land of All Saints must have been slandered before, they certainly experienced extreme grief and indignation.
Truth no longer mattered; in this world, everything revolves around benefit.
Li Hao took a deep breath, suppressing the anger in his heart. At this moment, he felt the Incense Fire drifting around him, part of it diminishing. This was the Incense Fire accumulated by building temples in his city by Emperor Canghai previously.
Now, that portion of Incense Fire was waning.
It seemed through the Boundary Stone’s reflection, many in that city were watching the battle, hearing the Buddha Venerate’s words, hence many believers at that moment broke their faith due to his words.
Very well… cutting off one’s Incense Fire is akin to killing a path!
