Starting From The Equal Opportunity To Become A Saint

201. Chapter 201 Is This Guy Really Just A Quasi-Holy Realm?

Chapter 201: Is this guy really just a quasi-holy realm?

Li Daoyan's killing intent was not concealed at all. When his gaze swept over Liu Zimo, it was calm and indifferent, as if he was looking at a dead person.

Liu Zimo's response was even more direct. He once again activated the still unrecovered Fire Cloud Purple Gold Hammer and smashed it straight towards Li Daoyan.

Boom!

The holy hammer carried the might of heaven and earth, smashing down at lightning speed!

But it suddenly stopped three feet above Li Daoyan's head, unable to make any further progress.

Seeing this, Liu Zimo's expression couldn't help but turn cold.

No wonder Wen Renfazhen showed a surprised expression when Li Daoyan came out to meet him, as if he was about to be saved.

Unexpectedly, Li Daoyan's strength was truly extraordinary!

Both of them were quasi-holy realm, but the Fire Cloud Purple Gold Hammer, which could directly smash Wen Renfazhen into minced meat, was like a toy in front of Li Daoyan, unable to harm him in the slightest.

"It's useless. This Fire Cloud Purple Gold Hammer is the sacred artifact of my Fire Cloud Palace. I know its characteristics and power better than you!"

"Although I don't know what means you used to temporarily subdue it, you are not qualified to use the power of the Fire Cloud Purple Gold Hammer to deal with me!"

Li Daoyan raised his head and glanced at Liu Zimo, speaking coldly,

"It seems that you are not planning to follow my advice and take your own life in front of Wen Ren's junior brother to apologize!"

"It's really a case of giving a toast and not eating the punishment!"

"Since that's the case, let you and the entire mortal city behind you be buried with Wen Ren's junior brother!"

After speaking, Li Daoyan raised his right hand and directly grabbed the Fire Cloud Purple Gold Hammer floating above his head.

"Hmm?"

"How could... the Fire Cloud Purple Gold Hammer actually refuse my summons?!"

Li Daoyan's expression changed unexpectedly for the first time.

He looked up at the Fire Cloud Purple Gold Hammer that he couldn't retrieve no matter what, his mind surging.

"Why is this happening?!"

"I have clearly stimulated the imprint of the saint within the Fire Cloud Purple Gold Hammer. Why can't I regain control of the sacred artifact?!"

"What kind of sorcery did this young man display that can forcibly suppress even the imprint of the saint?"

"This is simply impossible!"

"Unless there is a true saint taking action, who can suppress the saint's imprint?!"

Li Daoyan's expression was filled with shock as he finally began to take a serious look at the young man standing in the hall.

Now, he began to understand why Wen Ren's junior brother lost so miserably, to the point where he couldn't even preserve his whole body.

This young man in front of him indeed had some means!

Swish!

Li Daoyan gathered his spiritual energy in his eyes and used secret techniques to investigate Liu Zimo's true strength.

Soon.

When he saw that Liu Zimo had just stepped into the quasi-holy realm and hadn't completely dissipated the aura of breaking through the realm, Li Daoyan not only didn't feel relieved, but his doubts and worries became even stronger.

He didn't believe that a mere rookie who had just entered the quasi-holy realm had the ability to suppress the imprint of the saint within the Fire Cloud Purple Gold Hammer and forcibly refine it.

This was simply impossible!

"Did this kid hide his strength and avoid the detection of my Divine Ability secret technique?"

"Or is there a true holy realm powerhouse behind this kid secretly assisting him?"

"No, no, this is even more impossible!"

"The spiritual energy of this realm has just begun to recover, and the spiritual resonance of the Great Dao has just been born. It is far from the time for the return of the saints!"

"But if it's not a true saint intervening, how did this kid obtain the control authority of the Fire Cloud Purple Gold Hammer?"

"That is the divine soul imprint left by the Fire Cloud Saint Ancestor when he refined the Fire Cloud Purple Gold Hammer, specifically to prevent someone from forcibly plundering this sacred artifact!"

【But now, what is this...】

【Forget it, it's useless to think too much. Once I capture this kid and extract his soul for interrogation, everything will become clear!】

Liu Zimo's mind stirred.

Upon hearing Li Daoyan's self-talk, he became less eager to take action.

Especially when he heard words like "the return of the saints," his mind trembled slightly.

Without needing to ask, he knew that Li Daoyan must know the truth about the disappearance of the ancient saints!

However, just as Liu Zimo wanted to inquire for more information, Li Daoyan instead restrained his mind, and his state of mind became calm and undisturbed, without any trace of inner thoughts.

At the same time, Li Daoyan completely gave up the idea of retrieving the "Fire Cloud Purple Gold Hammer."

Swish!

His figure moved like lightning, instantly appearing within arm's reach of Liu Zimo, his palm striking directly at Liu Zimo's lower abdomen dantian.

The palm wind was like thunder, with a hidden fluctuation of the laws!

This palm of his unexpectedly contained a portion of the power of the great dao laws, with the might of heaven and earth!

Boom!

The laws surged, the air exploded, and the entire Fire Cloud Palace trembled continuously.

After Li Daoyan struck this palm, he stood there dumbfounded.

Damn it... Where did the person go?!

Where did the young man who was just standing in front of him run off to?!

With such a sudden attack at such close range, he even used the power of the laws that he had comprehended for tens of thousands of years.

But the result was empty!

Not to mention not even touching the corner of the other party's clothes, he couldn't even find the person now!

Is it really this strange?!

He was a top-tier quasi-saint who had comprehended several great dao laws. How could such a mistake occur?!

Realizing the danger, Li Daoyan cautiously restrained his mind and carefully searched around, trying to find Liu Zimo's hiding place!

But no matter what Divine Ability secret technique he used, even activating the protective ancestral array, he still couldn't find a trace of Liu Zimo!

If it weren't for the spiritual bell hanging above the entrance of the Fire Cloud Palace, Li Daoyan would have thought that the other party had used some secret technique to escape!

"To be able to hide from my divine sense perception, you do have some ability!"

"However, hiding your head and showing your tail won't save your parents and family!"

Unable to find him, Li Daoyan simply stopped wasting his mental energy and directly turned his gaze to the spiritual energy secret realm underground and the nearby Luo Prefecture City!

Boom!

Li Daoyan activated the power of the laws and punched the "Soul-Shaking Bell" above his head.

Hum~

The bell vibrated, instantly crumbling and dissolving into specks of shimmering light, disappearing without a trace.

Li Daoyan sneered, once again raising his right palm, intending to kill the three spiritual beasts and two human cultivators hiding in the underground cave.

He didn't believe that after he killed all of their pets and family members, that young man would still be able to resist showing himself!

"Hmm?!"

A gentle breeze brushed past his neck.

Li Daoyan instantly sensed that something was wrong, quickly raising his hand to cover his neck and throat, his face showing a look of fear.

[Yin-Yang laws, concealed Divine Ability?]

[He actually comprehended the Yin-Yang laws! And it's a complete and flawless Yin-Yang law!]

[Why?]

[He clearly just broke through to the quasi-saint realm, even if he has exceptional talent, it's impossible for him to comprehend the Yin-Yang laws so quickly and condense the power of the Yin-Yang laws, right?]

[Also, isn't it said that before the realm of True Saint, no one can comprehend the complete great dao laws?]

"Why is this guy able to comprehend the complete power of the Yin-Yang Law and even display the Hidden Divine Ability right after entering the quasi-saint realm?!"

"Compared to him, Li Daoyan, where did I go wrong..."

Thinking of this, Li Daoyan's thoughts abruptly stopped.

Fresh blood began to spurt continuously from the neck he was holding in his hand, and his entire head uncontrollably detached from his neck and fell to the ground!

After one strike.

Liu Zimo's figure appeared leisurely, standing ten meters behind Li Daoyan.

This was the first time he had used the Stealth Technique and Instant Movement in actual combat, but the destructive power was astonishing.

In just that instant, Liu Zimo felt his speed and attack power increase by more than a hundred times!

With such a powerful attack, even if a true saint-level expert came in front of him, Liu Zimo wouldn't be afraid at all!

The result was not the least bit unexpected.

One sword beheaded!

Li Daoyan didn't even have time to react before his neck was severed!

Because he didn't hear the sound of Li Daoyan's death, Liu Zimo once again summoned the Fire Cloud Purple Gold Hammer and smashed it down on Li Daoyan's headless body!

After all, the Fire Cloud Purple Gold Hammer was a sacred-grade treasure, containing the imprint of a saint and some of the laws of the Great Dao.

After being fully activated, it could not only completely destroy the enemy's physical body, but also destroy their divine soul!

Just now, Liu Zimo used this characteristic of the Fire Cloud Purple Gold Hammer to completely end Wenren Fazhen, body and soul!

Now, Liu Zimo repeated the same move, and with one strike, Li Daoyan's physical body was instantly smashed into a pulp that couldn't be picked up!

"Your good brother Li Daoyan has had a series of misfortunes and disasters. Under the attack of the Fire Cloud Purple Gold Hammer, his vitality has been completely cut off, and he died on the spot!"

"The 'Heaven-stealing' innate talent passive ability has been triggered, and you have inherited half of the remaining gifts from your good brother Li Daoyan before his death!"

Life Law Fragments +10, Strength Law Fragments +10, Basic Refining +600, Martial Arts Cultivation +2000, Spiritual Power +2000, Soul Strength +2000.

"Your good brother Li Daoyan has gone offline, and you can currently bind objects (64/100)."

Boom!

A massive amount of cultivation energy instantly surged into his body.

Liu Zimo hadn't had time to absorb and refine it yet, but he saw a stream of light shoot straight into his sea of consciousness from the head that had just rolled to the ground.

Liu Zimo's mind moved, not only did he not counterattack or dodge, but he also opened the gate of his spiritual platform and actively incorporated this stream of light into his own sea of consciousness.

Throughout his cultivation journey, the thing he feared the least was this kind of soul attack!

Since the other party wanted to die, he naturally had to fulfill their wish!

However, what surprised Liu Zimo was that even though Li Daoyan had already died and even his inheritance had been distributed, there was still a strand of his divine soul that hadn't been extinguished, and it even actively entered his sea of consciousness to cause trouble.

Does this count as true death and demise?

"It seems that as long as the physical body is destroyed and vitality is cut off, the Heaven-stealing ability will take effect immediately!"

"And after the soul consciousness leaves the physical body, it can no longer be considered a complete living being!"

Liu Zimo speculated to himself.

It was just like the spiritual bodies of the Demon Lord and the Devouring Spirit Ancestor that he had previously killed, they were all part of the spiritual power.

So, there was no way to bind them, naturally there would be no post-kill inheritance benefits.

"Hahaha, little guy, what can you do even if you kill my physical body?"

"As long as I control the origin of your sea of consciousness, I can possess and be reborn. Your talent and opportunities will all become mine!"

"Didn't expect it, this is my true trump card!"

"Even if you have high talent and great opportunities, in the end, you're just making a wedding dress for me!"

"..."

After successfully entering Liu Zimo's sea of consciousness space and transforming into a divine soul spirit, Li Daoyan couldn't help but burst into laughter.

Not a single bit of sadness or sorrow was felt due to the demise of his physical body. Because he would soon possess a younger and more potential new body!

In his view, the greatest weakness and flaw of a young person who had just advanced to the quasi-saint realm was undoubtedly their soul origin. Especially when he realized that Liu Zimo's bone age was barely twenty-one years old, he became even more convinced of his judgment.

After all, both martial arts cultivation and spiritual power cultivation could be continuously improved through the use of drugs or diligent practice. However, soul origin and mental experience required the accumulation and comprehension of time and experience, bit by bit.

Therefore, in Li Daoyan's opinion, youth was both Liu Zimo's advantage and strength, as well as his biggest disadvantage and weakness. As long as his soul consciousness successfully invaded Liu Zimo's sea of consciousness, he could forcefully control Liu Zimo's mental space with his accumulated massive soul origin, taking over his place!

From the current perspective, everything seemed to be going extremely smoothly. This young man didn't even have the slightest sense of defense, and he was easily invaded into his sea of consciousness!

How could Li Daoyan not be ecstatic when he heard Li Daoyan's arrogant shouts? Liu Zimo couldn't help but shake his head slightly and didn't bother to pay any attention to him. He directly closed the passage to his spiritual platform and began to focus on refining the massive martial arts cultivation and spiritual power cultivation that had just surged into his body.

Anyway, the most important thing was to take advantage of the opportunity at hand. As for Li Daoyan, his fate had been sealed since he decided to invade Liu Zimo's sea of consciousness.

Sure enough, Li Daoyan had only been proud in the sea of consciousness for less than three seconds when he sadly discovered that he couldn't explore the edge of this sea of consciousness! This sea of consciousness seemed boundless, no matter which direction he flew and explored, he couldn't glimpse its boundaries in a short time!

And Liu Zimo's soul origin and main body were even more unknown! What's more, the most absurd thing was that Li Daoyan had just seen a bright red shrimp-shaped creature waving its two large pincers in excitement, rapidly approaching his spiritual source!

It even flew and drooled at the same time, as if it had seen some delicious food!

"What the hell is that?!"

"How could there be a live shrimp in a normal person's sea of consciousness?!"

"And why did my consciousness involuntarily tremble when I saw it?!"

"Could it be a soul-devouring beast?!"

Realizing that something was wrong, Li Daoyan instinctively urged his soul body to escape quickly, wanting to get away from this strange shrimp-shaped creature.

"Why is everything different from what I imagined?"

While avoiding and fleeing, Li Daoyan muttered to himself in a low voice:

"He just broke through to the quasi-saint realm, how could he have such a vast sea of consciousness?!"

"Compared to this sea of consciousness, the previous one was like a small puddle!"

"And who dares to put a soul-devouring beast in their own sea of consciousness? Are they tired of living?"

"Why am I so unlucky? I finally looked forward to the unparalleled opportunity of the second recovery of spiritual power, but as soon as I came out, I encountered such a freak?"

"Is this guy really just a quasi-saint?"

"Oh no, I'm about to be caught up..."

In the midst of his random thoughts, Li Daoyan saw the crayfish getting closer and closer to him, and he actually spat out a golden thread of spiritual power from its mouth.

Swish!

Like lightning, the golden thread instantly pierced through his soul body, imprisoning him on the spot!
