Chapter 561: Chapter 80 Feng’s News_2

Li Hao heard the other’s words and didn’t hold back, a layer of Dao Domain directly spread out.

Intimidation!

The laws of the Dao Domain enveloped, instantly shrouding Jiang Lichen within it.

The pressure brought by intimidation made it impossible for one’s strength to be released from their body.

But at this moment, an excited and intense fighting spirit erupted in Jiang Lichen’s eyes, and from the apertures within his body, a slew of forces sprayed out. These forces, like Sword Qi, shot out. He actually condensed the power he swallowed into countless strands of Sword Qi, buried in the major veins of his whole body.

Li Hao held a trace of Immortal Qi hidden in his abdomen, while Jiang Lichen had countless Sword Qi concealed within his heart. Under the rules of the Dao Domain, he still managed to unleash a powerful force, resisting the erosion of the rules, and suddenly wielded his sword.

Whirr!

The bright light, like a silver moon explosion, seemed to contain a certain Dao Intent, instantly slashing horizontally.

Li Hao was taken aback for a moment, then realized that his Dao Domain had actually been torn apart by an extremely sharp force, directly breaking open!

He immediately wanted to overlay a second layer of Dao Domain but abandoned the idea as soon as it arose.

He felt a trace of battle intent in his heart, and likewise, threw out the withered branch in his hand, with power coiled beneath, a Sword Qi slashed out horizontally.

With a bang, the Reincarnation Sword Light clashed with Jiang Lichen’s Sword Qi, and under the reinforcement of the Dao Domain rules, they surprisingly ended in a draw.

“Your sword is not pure enough!”

Jiang Lichen’s eyes glared fiercely, he roared, “Is this your strongest swordsmanship? It’s still not enough!”

As he spoke, he slashed out a second sword, and this sword once again broke open the Dao Domain, the extremely condensed sword light, like aurora emerging from beyond the heavens, arrived in an instant.

And Li Hao also lifted the withered branch and swung it down fiercely.

The sword light dissolved into annihilation, neither gaining any advantage.

But the withered branch in Li Hao’s hand broke.

And Li Hao knew that if it weren’t for the support of the Dao Domain rules, purely in swordsmanship, he would have already lost.

“Your Sword Dao is only at a half Sword Saint level.”

Jiang Lichen’s aura released completely as he stood unscathed within the Dao Domain, his eyes cold with a hint of regret. “However, for someone your age, it’s not bad, maybe in ten years, you can challenge me again.”

Li Hao nodded slightly, not denying it.

His Sixth Stage of Sword Dao comprehension was not enough; he hadn’t entered the Spirit-Entering stage, and his swordsmanship hadn’t transcended. In contrast, Jiang Lichen’s understanding of the Sword Dao was likely at the Seventh or Eighth Stage.

Breaking open a Dao Domain with pure Sword Dao, the sword had reached a divine level, nearing the stage of Entering Dao.

“Is this your full strength, or do you have other methods? Show me your true power, and see if you can sharpen my sword further!”

Jiang Lichen’s eyes were fixed on Li Hao.

Li Hao saw the determination in his eyes and nodded, “Alright.”

As he spoke, he released the remaining half of the withered branch in his hand, letting it fall to the ground below.

But at the same time, four successive layers of Dao Domain suddenly covered.

The terrifying momentum that came suddenly caused Jiang Lichen’s originally fierce eyes to contract sharply, showing a trace of astonishment, but in the next moment, they burst out with even brighter light, filled with exuberance and excitement, laughing, “Come on!”

His whole body erupted with an overwhelming Sword Light, his spine became transparent and radiant, like a sword.

He surged upwards, his whole body lifting an immense aura, condensing into one sword, attempting to cleave.

But the next moment, another layer of Dao Domain covered.

The Six-layer Dao Domain instantly enveloped. With a bang, like a pair of giant hands, it gripped all the light emanating from Jiang Lichen’s body, seemingly extinguishing it, forcing it all back into his body, and then, like a still frame, he became immobile within the Dao Domain.

Li Hao didn’t unleash the full power of the Dao Domain’s rules, otherwise, it would have immediately torn him apart.

“You…”

Jiang Lichen’s eyes reluctantly moved, filled with shock and disbelief.

Li Hao slowly dissipated his power, retracting the Dao Domain.

Jiang Lichen’s brilliance instantly burst out all over, but his sword-holding posture stopped mid-air, merely staring blankly at Li Hao.

After a long time, he suddenly charged in front of Li Hao, saying, “Six-layer Dao Domain? Is this your limit?”

Li Hao shook his head slightly.

Jiang Lichen seemed a bit lost but soon laughed again and said,

“Good, good, good, I thought my sword was sharp enough, but now I see I’m still far off!”

“When I can cleave your Dao Domain, that will be when I reach the Tao Comprehension Realm!”

Li Hao’s heart was moved, and he asked, “Is the Prince familiar with the Tao Comprehension Realm?”

“Familiar, not quite, are you interested in understanding it?”

Jiang Lichen saw through Li Hao’s thoughts, chuckled twice, and without concealing, said, “Even if you come from the Divine General Mansion, unless that ancestor from your Li Family tells you directly, real secrets like these are not recorded in books. Some old folks would rather take these secrets to the grave than let them spread.”

He then brought the topic back, saying,

“The Tao Comprehension Realm also has levels; the First Realm is the True Man Realm, then the Second Realm is the Dao Law Realm!”

“The True Person of the Gan Tao Palace is in the True Man Realm. One must break through the rules of the Dao Domain, touch the true great Dao, discard the false and retain the true, transitioning from skill to Dao, is the Enlightened Truth Realm!”

He continued, “And the Dao Law Realm is even more mysterious and powerful; with the laws of the Dao Domain, words become law, summon wind and rain, peer into the great Dao of heaven and earth, no longer confined to skills but laws!”

“Skill is the appearance, Dao is the bone, laws are the flesh!”

Jiang Lichen glanced at Li Hao and said, “All cultivation skill manuals, be they supreme arts or otherwise, remain at the surface. Even supreme arts barely touch the truth but still stand outside the threshold of Dao.”

“It isn’t until one crosses the threshold that they truly Enter Dao, and only by leveraging the Dao to move laws can one exert one percent of effort to unleash one hundred percent of power!”
