Chapter 5175: Delaying Each Other

The ancient artifact he possessed was merely a component of an ancient treasure. It had the ability to amplify his divine power. Once activated, it could make his divine power more than ten times stronger. However, controlling it was extremely difficult, making it unsuitable for chaotic battles. It could be used effectively in one-on-one combat without distractions.

That’s why God-Emperor MO Lone hadn’t used this artifact in their previous encounter. He was confident that he could eliminate all the emperor’s children of the Daluo Realm in one-on-one combat.

Breathing heavily, Luo Hao clutched his chest.

‘No, I must hold on. The message has been sent out, but it will take time for the strong members of the clan to arrive. I can’t fall here,’ he thought, his determination fierce.

He couldn’t accept defeat!

He had carefully planned this mountain range, turning it into his hunting ground. He had good relations with other peak experts. He had a great hope to maintain his position in the top thousand and receive the divine gift from the Qishen Temple to comprehend the Qishen Great Dao. He couldn’t fall here.

For his clan, for himself, he couldn’t fall. He was the proudest Grand Yan Immortal of the Guca Clan. He couldn’t fall.

“l am Guca-Luo Hao!” he raised his head, his eyes wide with determination. “l will not be defeated by you!’

Boom!

His previously weak aura skyrocketed again, surpassing even the mighty aura he had at his peak, piercing the sky.

A majestic column of energy shot straight into the clouds!

His strength surged, fragmentary bolts of lightning covering his body, flickering with the power of thunder.

Although his aura surged, he didn’t rush to attack. He could buy some time. If he struck now, he wouldn’t be able to hold on until the strong members of the clan came to his aid.

“What’s this? Burning the source of the Great Dao already?” mocked God-Emperor MO Long. “Not bad, this supreme technique can convert the burning source into triple divine power. It can be considered a top-notch supreme technique! It’s one of the best among the intermediate supreme techniques. ”

God-Emperor MO Long shook his head.

“If you think this can match my strength, then you’re underestimating me.”

The Perfected Nine Revolutions were stratified, their strengths varying widely, dependent on the power of their source Dao.

Among the fifth-grade source Dao, Perfected Nine Revolutions were considered commonplace. Even with peak treasures, they could only stand out moderately in this category.

Fourth-grade source Dao Grand Yan Immortals, relying on peak treasures, could touch the threshold of top-level Grand Yan Immortals with their exceptional cultivation.

Only those Perfected Nine Revolutions with third-grade Dao could be deemed top-tier experts. With peak treasures, they stood at the pinnacle among Perfected Nine Revolutions.

Second-grade source Dao experts, after completing their cultivation, generally touched the peak threshold. Take Luo Hao, for example. He practiced second-grade source Dao, reaching the peak threshold with his cultivation, albeit his treasures weren’t sufficient.

If he possessed half the treasures of God-Emperor MO Long, he would have the battle prowess of a peak Grand Yan Immortal.

God-Emperor MO Longs Dao wasn’t top-tier among second-grade Dao, but it wasn’t the worst either. With abundant treasures, he was the most outstanding among peak experts, just below extreme Grand Yan Immortals like Jiu Yu, capable of slaughtering hundreds of Perfected Nine Revolutions Grand Yan Immortals single-handedly.

To accurately categorize, there were stages of initial, ordinary, top-grade, peak, extreme, and half-step Emperor.

Half-step Emperors, experts at this level, were almost always using Ultimate Dao, either peerless geniuses who comprehended the fusion of myriad Daos or cultivators of the Ultimate Dao.

There were very few of them in the entire universe, and as far as the current situation was concerned, not a single one existed on this primitive planet.

In the Five-Fold World, each world had 36 primitive planets, totaling 180 planets. With a bit of luck, one wouldn’t encounter such monsters. If luck turned sour, escape was the only option.

Every primitive or orignal planet was a slaughterhouse for that half-step Emperors. Undoubtedly, such powerhouses occupied the throne of first place in this regard.

As long as the Qishen Temple operated smoothly, the two half-step Emperors would never clash. Ultimately, the Qishen Temple was here to sift through strong beings. Those like them, ordinary Grand Yan Immortals on the path of the original Great Dao, were unlikely to be chosen. In the end, those who truly stood out were the ultimate existences or geniuses who comprehended the Unity of Myriad Daos.

God-Emperor MO Long looked down upon Luo Hao with disdain. “A lowly creature dares to challenge me!”

Boom!

Instantly, the two ascended to the sky, and every move they made resonated with a dull sound.

God-Emperor MO Longs every move was precise, targeting non-vital points, only disturbing Luo Hao’s veins. The divine power he could burn with his source was limited after all. Luo Hao was anxious, but not at all hurried.

He knew why the opponent was resisting like this: waiting for the other strong beings of the Daluo Realm!

These strong beings in the Daluo Realm were also incredibly fortunate. Six out of the ten Emperor’s descendants had descended upon the ‘Original Planet Alpha Nine’. They complemented each other quite well.

In his eyes, Luo Hao had been guarding this mountain range. Eight chances out of ten, he was here on the orders of the First Prince of the Daluoo Realm. If injured, he could hide here, recover his divine body, and consider Luo Hao as a retreat.

The fact that Luo Hao was left with the back door clearly showed that the other descendants had great trust in him. If he called for help now, those other descendants would undoubtedly come to his aid.

He could play his cards right, first severely injure Luo Hao, then expose a weakness, waiting for the Princes of Daluo Realm to arrive. Then, one by one, he would eliminate them. Even if they came together, he was willing to use his secret treasures, enough to kill one or two and still escape unharmed. This way, he would both avenge his grievances and accumulate significant military merits.

In this mountainous battleground, there was no need to worry about old enemies sneaking up on him. The Princes of Daluo Realm wouldn’t be foolish enough to expose their home base, luring other strong opponents to deal with him. His displayed strength was not far behind Daluo Realm’s chief. Plus, feigning unhealed injuries, they would surely relax their guard. If he got a chance to kill Daluo Realm’s chief, it would be a huge victory.

The current chief of Daluo Realm was ranked 76th, with a combat record easily in the tens of millions.

Ha!

Luo Hao gripped a spinning flying blade in one hand, blocking the heavy punches of God-Emperor MO Long. In his other hand appeared a black rhombus-shaped crystal pillar.

He was never good at close combat. His enlightenment was the Great Dao of

Gold. His divine body wasn’t exceptionally strong. Unlike God-Emperor MO Long, who had an Emperor as his father, even if he didn’t focus on strengthening his physical body, he could still spend a considerable amount of treasures to refine his body to perfection. Combined with the Dao of the Mountain, his strength was terrifying, his defense akin to a towering divine mountain, and his speed, needless to say. Mastering the Dao of the Mountain, he could shrink space and escape without a trace.

God-Emperor MO Long’s strength could be described as reaching perfection. This was the advantage of a strong background. Without such support, just having a perfect physical body would require all the assets of an ordinary

Emperor. Where could one find the resources and treasures for a Perfected Nine Revolutions Grand Yan Immortal?

Luo Hao had his own background, although powerful. He was just one of the top 10 Princes of his generation. If he couldn’t successfully merge the Daos

within the time limit or lacked the strength to do so, he would be sent to a

distant place, losing access to resources and training. He would find it nearly impossible to merge the Daos successfully throughout his lifetime..
