And at that time, Feng didn't go all out either. If he truly had a deathmatch with the Void Saint, Li Hao still didn't have much confidence at his core. However, what's different is that this time he'd have the power to fight back. Although there's no assurance of victory, he wouldn't lose as miserably.

In the Tao Comprehension Realm, being able to reach such a degree was already inconceivable, but this wasn't what Li Hao desired.

"If the energy channels and the Wen Dao Extreme Realm could both be cultivated to their utmost limit, perhaps there would be a hope to fight. But there's no time left, if only there was one more year..."

Li Hao's eyebrows were tightly knitted; time was pressing. In this half year, his improvement was rapid. In comparison to others, it was unimaginably high, but still not enough.

"The fastest path now is to sprout the embryonic form of the Saint Path and solidify it completely!"

"With the embryonic form of the Saint Path, combined with powers from various Extreme Realms and guidance from an Immortal, there should be a chance to fight!"

Although the embryonic form of the Saint Path was still nascent, vulnerable to being easily shattered by the true Saint Path, it was after all a form of the Saint Path and had the qualification to compete.

Unlike refining laws and cultivating energy channels, the embryonic form of the Saint Path relied on enlightenment. It might not take long or it might take forever; some may take decades without enlightenment or may achieve sudden insight overnight.

"The Pride of Heaven Battle is approaching; we in the Little Thousand World are some distance away from the Heavenly Origin Realm. We need to set off early."

Feng Boping arrived at Li Hao's courtyard to inform him and prepare for the departure.

Li Hao, however, was silent. To others, it was a competition with the Heavenly Prides; to him, once he set off on this path, he might face an ambush and murder by Saints; his opponents were Saints.

Seeing that Li Hao gave no response, Feng Boping seemed to understand his worries and said:

"You need not worry about the Buddha Sect and that Void Saint, just focus on participating in the Supreme Genius Battle. I have plans in place for everything else. All you need is to take first place, and all will be well, with the added bonus of an unexpected surprise!"

"An unexpected surprise?"

Li Hao couldn't help looking towards Feng.

"That's right, according to an old friend's news, this time the first-place winner will receive not only the Incense Fire reward but also three exceedingly precious Heaven and Earth Treasures that are critical materials for nurturing Tao Tribulation Emperor Weapons!"

Feng Boping's eyes gleamed as he said, "I heard that two of the Heaven and Earth Treasure materials come from the Buddha Sect and the Void Holy Land. They volunteered them as rewards for the champion of the Supreme Genius Battle!"

"The other item seems to be a generous contribution from a Supreme Saint, which isn't related to us. However, the fact that the Buddha Sect and the Void Holy Land are willing to give out such a huge offer, you should know the reason, right?"

Li Hao's expression turned slightly cold, "To lure me there?"

"That's right."

Feng Boping sneered, "In this Little Thousand World, within the domain of the Lie Sky Holy Land, it's my territory. Within a Saint's domain, as long as you don't leave your house, I can protect you always. Even if the Supreme Saint himself comes, I have ways to escape. But once you leave this Little Thousand World and you're no longer within my Saint Domain, your fate is less certain."

"They're afraid you'll shrink back and not dare to compete, so they're using this bait."

"But what they don't know is that with your strength, as long as you compete, you will surely take first place; no one can be your match!"

Feng Boping knew what game the Buddha Sect and the Void Saint were playing. If they could tempt Li Hao to compete and ambush him, they were ready to take the loss of Heaven and Earth Treasures, which would fall into the hands of another Pride of Heaven winner. At that point, they only needed to leak a message saying the Heaven and Earth Treasures were extra cordial sponsorships, thus gaining a favor.

After all, the one who would become the number one Heavenly Pride of the Thousand Realms could immediately become a Saint; at least that act of goodwill could serve as a bridge for networking. All things considered, it's not a loss!

Killing intent flashed in Li Hao's eyes. To kill him, the Buddha Sect and the Void Holy Land were really going all out.

"What you need to do is to take first place!"

Feng Boping stated, "By then not only will you become a Saint, but you'll also seize their treasures. I'd like to see their faces then!"

Hearing this, the killing intent in Li Hao's eyes gradually subsided, restrained within his heart. He said, "They're bleeding themselves to attract me there; this journey will likely be exceptionally perilous."

Feng Boping nodded, "Yes, but I've already called upon an old friend, and together with the Lie Sky Saint, we have a way to send you safely to the Heavenly Origin Realm. Once you're there, they won't dare to attack you recklessly because that is where a Supreme Saint presides. The laws of the Upper Three Realms are extremely strict; the Holy Master of Law's discipline is rigid and will not condone anyone breaking rules within the Upper Three Realms!"

"Holy Master of Law..."

Li Hao's eyes shimmered. The Holy Master of Law was one of the Supreme Saints. The Divine Dynasty's laws and rituals of lord and subject, among other things, could not circumvent the 'Law,' reflecting the weight of the Holy Master of Law.

Having seen the ugly and deceitful nature of that Void Saint and the Buddha Venerate, Li Hao had no illusions about the Supreme Saints. He might not trust their people, but he trusted their Saint Path.

A Saint would abide by their own Saint Path; otherwise, contradiction would only harm themselves.

Even if outsiders perceived it as a violation, if a Saint had their own views and understanding, then it wouldn't count as a violation.

Just as the Buddha Venerate's act of giving flesh to the eagle is compassion, to some it might appear as abetting tyranny, nurturing ferocity, but it all depends on the Buddha Venerate's own heart.

"There are the laws of the Holy Master of Law in the Heavenly Origin Realm, which no one wants to touch. Besides, I have found a Mo Family Saint from the Heavenly Origin Realm to escort you. With a Supreme Saint in the Mo family, if the Buddha Sect dares to act against the Mo Family Saint, they will surely incur the wrath of the Supreme Saint!"

Feng Boping said to Li Hao, "In addition, I've visited the Source Saint in the Heavenly Origin Realm. Upon hearing about your situation, he told me, if you can win first place, he himself will protect you, and nobody may harm you even slightly."

"Source Saint?"

Li Hao was slightly taken aback and couldn't help looking towards Feng. His time in the Land of All Saints wasn't short. Apart from the decade wasted hiding in the void, he had been recuperating in the Sword Ancestor Holy Land until now, which was nearly two years.
