To enter the Dao through cooking, Li Hao’s understanding of ingredients had become even broader.
Although the Emperor’s Weapon before him could technically serve as an ingredient, Li Hao had no intention of burning and cooking it. Manipulating the Chaos Divine Fire, he directed it toward the Mixed Heaven Saint. In an instant, the corpse that the saint’s body had become was engulfed in blazing flames. The fat, bones, and blood within were all refined and simmered in the Chaos Divine Fire.
“What are you doing?!”
The Mixed Heaven Saint’s Primordial Spirit stared at his burning body. The flames rising abruptly into the heavens made him feel an unfamiliar terror, as if he had returned to the Barbaric Wilds, witnessing a forest fire and fleeing in panic.
Li Hao remained silent, mobilizing the full force of the All Heavens Star Vein to make the Chaos Divine Fire burn more fiercely.
The Mixed Heaven Saint let out an angry roar, sensing the encroachment of death. He hastily tried to reintegrate his Primordial Spirit with his flesh.
Soon, the corpse began to merge with his Primordial Spirit, and every nerve of his body reignited with sensation as pain was transmitted back to him.
As the merging took place, the self-healing properties of his body were activated, regenerating the flesh even in the midst of the Chaos Divine Fire, albeit slowly. He roared as he slapped away the searing flames covering his form.
Yet, this Chaos Divine Fire, born from the infinitesimal essence of Heaven and Earth, was omnipresent and inextinguishable. Summoned and gathered by Li Hao, it now unleashed its terrifying power. freeweɓnøvel.com
The smell of roasting meat reached Li Hao’s nostrils, stirring his appetite and making his mouth water uncontrollably.
However, the Mixed Heaven Saint’s struggles caused the Chaos Divine Fire to scatter. Burning him alive and thoroughly cooking him seemed increasingly unfeasible.
“Still not fast enough…”
Li Hao’s gaze deepened as his Primordial Spirit wielded the fragmented blade, and in a flash, he lashed out again.
Now equipped with insights gained from entering the Dao of cooking, including techniques for processing and preparing ingredients, the cuts of his fragmented blade were swifter and more precise than ever.
The arc of the blade’s light, like a crescent moon, was no less formidable than Li Hao’s Sword Dao itself!
In just an instant, it severed all the joints of the Mixed Heaven Saint’s body, separating his Primordial Spirit from his flesh.
Simultaneously, the Chaos Divine Fire blazed even more ferociously, cooking with wild abandon.
“What is this fire? Do you intend to burn me to death?!”
The Mixed Heaven Saint was filled with fury and dread as a rare fear flickered in his eyes. For the first time in his long existence, he sensed genuine terror emanating from this insignificant member of the Human Race. The shadow of death loomed over him, and the scene unfolding before him spiraled beyond his control.
He knew he couldn’t allow Li Hao to destroy his fleshly body. If that were to happen, he might truly perish at the hands of this seemingly minor threat.
With all his strength, he tried to reconnect his Primordial Spirit with his flesh. But just as contact was made, the blade’s light struck again, severing the bond in an instant.
Like a streak of aurora, the fragmented blade danced swiftly, slicing between the saint’s body and his spirit as though it were lightning made tangible.
Its edge was so sharp that it didn’t only slice through flesh—it could even cleave Primordial Spirits.
“You!”
Roaring in rage, the Mixed Heaven Saint’s Primordial Spirit repeatedly attempted to attach to his body, only to be mercilessly cut down by Li Hao each time.
Helpless, he watched as his fleshly body burned under those horrific flames, shrinking and collapsing, while emitting a strange and tempting aroma. From the pores of his body, the profound truths of his cultivation leaked out, turning into a visible, smoky fragrance that lingered around his roasting form.
His flesh, refined through sacrificial techniques, was now disintegrating under the relentless cooking!
Once a body sanctified by the Saint Path, it was now deteriorating, though the Saint Path originally fused into the flesh hadn’t dissipated. Instead, it lingered as mist around the simmering body.
Li Hao observed the scene and knew the “meat” had reached optimal tenderness.
That made it all the more perfect for absorption.
Without hesitation, he used the fragmented blade to continuously tear apart and block the Mixed Heaven Saint’s Primordial Spirit from getting closer, while he himself lunged toward the saint’s roasting body.
The Chaos Divine Fire dispersed as Li Hao dove into the already fractured, smoldering body of the saint. Ignoring the blistering heat, he ripped it open, scattering bones, organs, and other innards, all radiating an overpowering aroma.
At the pinnacle of craftsmanship, the finest ingredients needed only the simplest culinary methods.
The flesh of the Mixed Heaven Saint, comparable to the finest treasures of Heaven and Earth, surpassed even some Spiritual Grass or Divine Fruits. His bones, blood, and marrow brimmed with immense, pure energy.
Without a word, Li Hao tore off the saint’s arm and began devouring it with delight.
Currently in the form of Fatian Xiangdi, his massive body viciously ripped apart and feasted on the Mixed Heaven Saint’s flesh.
“You… you’ve gone mad!”
The Mixed Heaven Saint’s Primordial Spirit looked on in horror, its eyes nearly bulging out of its incorporeal form. It was incomprehensible that this Human was feasting on him, treating him as mere food!
Came to hunt Li Hao, believing him to be nothing more than supplemental nourishment on the chopping block. Now, the tables had turned—his own flesh was being devoured!
“Since we share the same origin, you, a sanctified fleshly body, feed off me to gain power. But if I eat you, it will replenish me just as well!”
Li Hao spoke while chewing, his Primordial Spirit faintly visible as it glared coldly at the Mixed Heaven Saint.
The saint’s spirit trembled with fury, his ethereal features twisted in fury. He would rather see his body obliterated than let it serve as Li Hao’s stepping stone. This outrage couldn’t be borne—he, a Supreme Saint, honed through Ancient eras and countless ordeals, was being reduced to livestock for this human cultivator to consume. It was an outright indignity!
“Primordial Dao, Ninefold Fracture!”
The Mixed Heaven Saint roared, his Primordial Spirit erupting with an overwhelming surge of Divine Soul Power, a force so mighty it rippled through the void.
Unlike physical bodies, the Primordial Spirit had no meridians—its power was absolute and unrestrained. At this moment, his spirit divided into nine distinct streams, intertwining and amplifying each other, causing his power to surge exponentially.
His Primordial Spirit howled as it charged once more toward his fleshly body.
Li Hao was caught off guard—this seemed to be a Secret Technique cultivated for the enhancement of the Primordial Spirit, one capable of magnifying its power.
