Chapter 1008: Chapter 209: Divine Bone, Desperate Situation (8K Request for Monthly Tickets)_2

The stronger the Divine Soul, the clearer the mind and the more vigorous the Martial Artist.

When the Divine Soul is cultivated to the extreme, it transforms into the Primordial Spirit, signifying a metamorphosis of the soul. However, in essence, it is still the Soul, which is not physical but composed of spiritual energy.

Yet now, within Li Hao’s Primordial Spirit, 360 golden veins contract and converge. Under the extreme transformation, the dense Soul Power astonishingly crystallized into a nearly physical Divine Bone!

This Divine Bone is remarkably distinct, and Li Hao can sense the terrifying power it contains.

It wasn’t only Li Hao undergoing such transformation—the middle-aged general was experiencing the same.

Both of their Primordial Spirits underwent transformation and refinement, yielding Divine Bones.

“Legend has it that when the Soul is cultivated to its ultimate form, it achieves the status of True God!”

The middle-aged general was exceedingly excited when his Divine Bone materialized. He turned to Li Hao and said, “The culmination of the Divine Soul is just like this. It’s said that only Immortal Emperors can achieve this. Their power is unfathomable. A mere strand of Soul Thought’s pressure is enough to make all living beings bow, even making Immortal Divines tremble!”

Li Hao had already noticed that with the appearance of golden veins in his Primordial Spirit, he had shattered the bottleneck of the Extreme Realm, stepping toward the Final Realm of the Divine Soul.

However, at present, reaching the Final Realm seemed exceedingly difficult.

Though he had refined his first Divine Bone, it was formed from the convergence of 360 golden Divine Veins.

No one knows how many Divine Bones must be refined to reach the end of this path.

Still, breaking through the bottleneck of the Extreme Realm and setting foot on the path to the Final Realm is already an achievement surpassing countless individuals in the world.

After refining the first Divine Bone, the Ancient Demon Flesh consumed by Li Hao could condense new golden veins once more.

After finishing off the last Ancient Demon, Li Hao and the middle-aged general boarded the bronze chariot again, heading toward the fourth Ancient Demon Leader’s territory.

Despite their skyrocketing strength, neither of them became careless. They continued to sneak in and investigate thoroughly before launching an encirclement and slaughter.

This time, Li Hao spared two survivors, and the middle-aged general refrained from killing the Ancient Demon Leader. Instead, they subdued and interrogated it.

To Li Hao’s surprise, this Ancient Demon was exceptionally resolute. Even under the threat of life and death, it refused to divulge information about the outside world.

However, the middle-aged general clearly had his methods. When words failed, he resorted to forcibly seizing and probing the Demon’s memories using his Primordial Spirit.

Though this method was quite cruel, it proved far more reliable. His initial plan was to interrogate first and then verify authenticity through memory extraction.

However, while probing memories is effective, it often leaves the memories fragmented and incomplete. The information retrieved from them tends to be sporadic.

Nonetheless, from these fragmented memory shards, the middle-aged general gleaned troubling news: indeed, there were Ancient Demon Commanders stationed on this Ancient Road—and there wasn’t just one!

The revelation made the middle-aged general feel chilled. He tried searching for information about the True Realm beyond, yet the shattered memories contained only scenes of slaughter and the great ancient battle. There was no trace of external world information. It seemed this Ancient Demon Leader had been sealed here since the battle’s conclusion and had never left.

The middle-aged general explained his findings to Li Hao, his expression heavy.

Li Hao, however, had mentally prepared for this earlier. Although the situation wasn’t promising, it was still an improvement compared to before.

At least previously, even dealing with an Ancient Demon Leader was beyond their capabilities, forcing them to hide at the canyon’s entrance. Now, however, they could easily eliminate these Ancient Demon Leaders.

Li Hao and the middle-aged general stayed in this territory for a while longer.

Six months later, the Ancient Demons of this region were consumed entirely, prompting them to move to the next territory.

Time flew by.

After clearing out the territory of the sixth Ancient Demon Leader, Li Hao had already spent three years in this place.

Within his body, 360 golden veins had once again converged, nurturing the second Divine Bone.

In addition, Li Hao had elevated his Carving Arts to the Ninth Stage.

The creations he carved were no longer mere decorative items but precious Secret Treasures.

For instance, the miniature Ancient Demon he carved possessed a soul attack technique similar to an Ancient Demon’s. Although not as strong, wearing it on oneself was sufficient to repel certain Divine Soul-based attacks.

The swords and blades he carved rivaled the power of forged Divine Weapons and carried distinctive energy infused through Li Hao’s Dao Power.

Li Hao felt that once he achieved the Tenth Stage of Carving Arts, he might even be able to craft Tao Tribulation Emperor Weapons!

Throughout history, Tao Tribulation Emperor Weapons have always been creations birthed by Heaven and Earth. If he could craft one, then even without combat skill, Li Hao would be revered as the guest of honor among Saints.

“From the memories of this Ancient Demon, it seems they are preparing for battle. Another war seems to have erupted outside, and the Commander may summon them at any time. When that happens, the abnormalities here will surely be exposed.”

The middle-aged general spoke to Li Hao.

This was a critical piece of intelligence obtained from the sixth Ancient Demon Leader’s memories.

The Ancient Demons were like an organized army, utterly submissive to higher-tier Ancient Demons. Their hierarchical consciousness was exceedingly strict, leaving no room for rebellion.

Li Hao’s expression darkened. According to the middle-aged general’s explanation, the Ancient Demon Commanders are beings that surpass First Level Ancient Demons. Their status among the Ancient Demons is extraordinarily high, comparable to True Monarchs among Immortal Divines!

Entities of this caliber possess immense power, far exceeding what a True Immortal could contend with.

What’s more, Ancient Demons are inherently stronger than Immortal Divines of the same realm. The more powerful the Ancient Demon, the more terrifying its Talent Secret Techniques become.

“That’s good news, too.”

Li Hao remarked calmly.

The middle-aged general couldn’t help but glance at Li Hao.

Li Hao looked at him and smiled. “Weren’t you concerned about the outside world? Now, at least we know there are still other Immortal Divines out there. The great battle back then didn’t completely destroy the True Realm.”

The middle-aged general froze momentarily, then snapped out of it, his eyes suddenly brightening.
