Yuan Shuo darted into his domain of the five elements and overcame his opponent. The chaos beast’s chaos dao was suppressed as the strength of the five elements was spontaneously expelled from the domain!

The five elements were the basics of many exalted emperors, even when it came to chaos dao. Thus, outright removing them caused the exalted emperor’s presence to immediately wither.

Boom!

Tiger claws punctured the other’s head in a loud collision. The monster cast a sidelong glance at Li Hao and leered. It seemed to be the most brutal chaos beast in existence!

“I am the demon of the Five Styles!” Loud laughter rang from a face with reddened eyes. “I was born a demon!”

An eye suddenly opened in the center of his forehead! [1]

Li Hao gaped at the sight; the eye looked around intensely. The power of the five elements manifested and transformed into a dao domain. The spirit of five elements surged madly and corralled everything within the vicinity!

BAM!

A chaos beast exalted emperor was knocked flat on its back. Scintillating thunder and lightning appeared in its eyes; a chaos tribulation seemed ready to appear!

However, the dao domain came down with a rumble and the chaos tribulation detonated on the spot. The Fused Dao Yuan Shuo had utilized his domain of the Five Elements to crush a first rank to annihilation!

KABOOM!

Void sucked in a sharp breath and turned wide eyes at his friend. A half step emperor with a dao domain?? The hell?! Had Yuan Shuo succeeded?? How was this possible?!

I have a dao domain too, but I felt hints of it only after I reached fourth rank! I began to perfect it when I reached fifth rank and it grew stronger after I ascended to sixth rank. How is a half step emperor also creating a dao domain??

This is nuts!

“My teacher!” Li Hao transmitted with a raise of his chin. He sounded... quite proud. My teacher is the forefather of the Five Styles!

He is the foremost martial master beneath the heavens and the first martial master to combine five types of martial dao auras. He is the first martial master to sense the domain and the first one to enter our dao universe!

He is also... the first one to be so outstripped by his disciple that he can barely lift his head. He’s a martial dao grandmaster who can only burrow into holes.

But today, Yuan Shuo had succeeded with the dao domain!

Although he was yet to verify his dao, he could overcome two first ranks with the strength of a half step emperor. That was utterly terrifying.

In the far off distance, someone seemed reluctant about being left behind and refused to let Silver Moon martial masters occupy the stage. A book hovered in the void and a myriad of daos manifested. Shadows became one and propagated knowledge of dao...

The book swept through the land and chaos beasts fell into it. They were immediately trapped. A long river materialized in it, it rocked gently against the riverbanks like a river of death. Suddenly, a wave reared and churned various beasts into it. They screamed with agony before being reduced to bones the next second!

Zhang An heaved a proud sigh and peered around him. Damn, this is a lot more competitive than New Martial! I feel like I’ll fall by the wayside if I don’t start showing off some of my talents!

Every exalted emperor let loose with their greatest abilities. Some were valiant, others were fervent. Some had unique daos, others wielded strong auras. And some... some could only watch and sigh.

Celestial Pole stared speechlessly at exalted emperors erupting all throughout the area. What was all this now?

New Martial exalted emperors were certainly a sight to behold. He hadn’t made a name for himself there, so he was proud of being a fourth rank in Silver Moon. But now... it seemed like he’d only briefly relaxed for a moment before the rest started leaping forward!

It was like they were all deathly terrified that his mediocrity wouldn’t be known. The hell, man!

Celestial Pole cast a sidelong glance at the Pagoda King. That guy is just going through the motions, right?

What he saw next nearly sent him into a fit of apoplexy.

The Pagoda King was chuckling and murmured to himself, employing the dao of desire. A giant beast in front of him moved forward, as if entranced. The Pagoda King easily cut off its head. He looked back at his comrade and smiled faintly.

Now now, don’t look at me. I’m also hard at work.

Celestial Pole scowled darkly. You’re all crazy!

He punched out with a roar, shattering the heavens and earth. Hello! Granddaddy Celestial Pole here isn’t a pushover, alright?!

BOOM!

Countless copies of Celestial Pole appeared with that punch and he blasted a massive beast to pieces. He crowed with victory.

Not too far away, someone could be heard muttering, “So a fourth rank has killed a third rank. Meh. Judging from that reaction, I thought you’d killed a fifth rank!”

Celestial Pole flew into a rage! Who dared expose the truth!

He whirled around angrily and then... deflated. What was that dumb cat Number Two doing out here??

Celestial Pole couldn’t be bothered with the cat, so he pretended he hadn’t heard anything. He could antagonize anyone but the cat. The Ash Emperor couldn’t offend it, Li Hao couldn’t, and Ole Wang the Exalted Blood Emperor couldn’t either.

Forget it!

Several dozen chaos beast exalted emperors found no opening to strike back against the combined assault of the human exalted emperors. Perhaps it was because Li Hao and Void were holding down the perimeter, or perhaps their senses had been dulled after years of ease and comfort.

It was also possible that this was the most crazed that Silver Moon martial masters had ever been, because they wished to vent all of their pent up feelings during this time. Under such circumstances, it wasn’t long before the entire area was quiet!

Chaos world masters had been massacred!

Li Hao looked around him, shaking his head at what he saw. There were many combatants in the field, roughly one to one! How could chaos beasts be butchered like this given the ratio? They should outmatch the humans in strength!

Have I overestimated the Dragon master?

Granted, these were all minor characters in the region. But with Dragon Region having been so tranquil for so long, the chaos beasts had lost their wild nature. That wasn’t necessarily good!

A smashing victory!

Or perhaps one could say, utter domination!

Li Hao smiled.

Silver Moon martial masters are still with us! Not only their bodies, but their hearts as well. They have not fallen into the abyss. Everyone blossomed with their own light.

The Thirty-Six of Silver Moon were still alive, each of them carving their own path. Even if their light was very faint at the moment and though they relied heavily on Li Hao’s resources, they weren’t willing to go quietly into the night!

The chaos was such an exciting place! There were so many powerhouses around that there should be a place for Silver Moon too!

Our origin, New Martial, is so radiant and magnificent. Everyone in the chaos knows the Sword Sovereign, Supreme Zhang, the Ash Emperor, Human King, Exalted Blood Emperor, and a lot more others...

But only the Silver Moon king is known from Silver Moon! Which one of us is renowned throughout the universe?? No one!

We won’t stand for this!

Even if we die, we need to go down in a blaze of glory!

The slaughter stopped after several dozen chaos beasts fell to humans of similar strength. There were no more to kill! The humans were drenched with blood, but blazed with high spirits. Some were heavily wounded, but a smile hung on their faces.

We are still here!

After Panther easily snuffed out the last exalted emperor in a corner, all fifty-some exalted emperors that’d convened at Black Dog World were dead!

The battle had lasted only ten minutes, but more than fifty exalted emperors were fatalities at the end of it. Their worlds were littered throughout the scene as fighting continued within it. The Great Li king was rampaging through all of them!

He was yet to verify his dao, but his momentum was unbounded and unparalleled at the moment. The true presence of a king rose from the man.

Of the five rulers of Silver Moon—Li Hao, the Great Li king, empress dowager of Watercloud, the Barren King, and western queen—it was the Great Li king who was most like a monarch.

And while he’d been left in the dust due to lack of strength, he might be the one most beloved by the people among the five continents. Li Hao did not occupy that place—he’d conquered the world through sheer strength.

The Great Li king was the overlord, but his administrative capabilities were nothing to write home about. It was Jiang Li who would fill in for that function.

Countless humans within the worlds danced with crazed fervor. There were even local humans who followed after the Silver Moon martial masters. They wielded weapons as well to join in the resistance!

Wails, sobs, and furious roars shook the skies. The worlds shook!

While it wasn’t just one world that saw this sight, some worlds were very quiet. That was because... they had no residents at all!

Some were completely devoid of any humans and held only monster spirits and some chaos beasts. When Li Hao sent his senses in, he detected only overwhelming bitterness and death qi.

Had humans not been born in those worlds? He didn’t know.

Fine, the young man did know. Humans had appeared in those worlds. Humans could be found in all worlds in the chaos. So where were the humans of those worlds?

Li Hao didn’t ask because he knew where they were. Where else would they be, if not eaten or killed?

“Go on, Ling Yue!” Li Hao’s voice echoed through the void. “Spread your faith and kill those demons. Those who put their faith in you can enter the divine nation! As for the rest, take the biggest world...

“Nah, just take this sixth rank world. Those who do not believe in gods can enter this world! Gather the humans and devour the other worlds. Dismantle their dao nets, swallow their world origin, and seize the world’s strength!”

He didn’t choose to proceed slowly. That had been the plan before, and to have false worlds in place to provide cover.

That no longer seemed necessary because Dragon major world had run off!

In that case, why must I plan things out step by step? I’ll just go straight to the end! He could create fifty immaterial worlds with all the ones here, and then use them to replace the real thing. So long as it wasn’t premier powerhouses that came by, none would be the wiser!

Who would realize that so many worlds are missing?

And the exalted emperors that’d died!

There were even fifth ranks among them. Dao strength wafted over the scene, as could their bodies be found everywhere. Since they were chaos beasts, this was all treasure. They also had a certain amount of dao crystals as well. That was a good harvest too.

This might have been Li Hao’s easiest campaign yet since he hadn’t needed to take the field. Those from Silver Moon had easily vanquished the enemy.

It was only now that the young man felt... ease and comfort. It was so comfortable! The resources that he’d spent before had not gone to waste.
