362: Law of Heaven and Earth

"To be honest, you really are my idol, but I have very important things to do right now, and I really need your ability to travel between various worlds."

As Li Haotian spoke, he brandished the Long Sword in his hand, his eyes filled with a determined look.

The Monkey King showed an appreciative smile, then leaped up with his Golden Cudgel and struck down with a blow.

Li Haotian raised his hand to block at the first opportunity.

The Long Sword and the Golden Cudgel collided, producing a violent sound, and both of them bounced back and put some distance between them.

"Hoo!"

The Monkey King plucked a tuft of hair from his body and blew on it gently, causing countless Monkey Kings to appear before Li Haotian.

Li Haotian was not afraid in the slightest; he immediately took a stance, and waves of Sword Qi surged forward. The Monkey King Clones that couldn't dodge in time were instantly destroyed, but more than a dozen Clones still managed to rush right in front of him.

"Bang, bang, bang!"

Violent crashing sounds rang out continuously, but the pale golden light shield on Li Haotian's body blocked every attack.

Just as he was destroying the Clones one by one, he suddenly heard the sound of something breaking through the air behind him. Looking back, the Golden Cudgel was already inches away. The moment it made contact with his protective shield, Li Haotian was sent flying.

The remnant soul left behind by the Monkey King before his death contained the strength of his full-power battle. Now that it was fully unleashed, it possessed the oppressive might of the Immortal King Realm. Even with his strong defensive capabilities, Li Haotian was still knocked back.

The Magic Treasure on his body kept emitting a scorching sensation, and Li Haotian knew it was operating at its limit, barely protecting him.

If he didn't use the Immortal Emperor Realm Experience Card, the amount of immortal spirit qi in his body naturally wouldn't be very high, and he could only use his own Immortal Venerable-level immortal spirit qi to power the Magic Treasure.

Theoretically, even if he was wearing an Immortal Rank Magic Treasure, it absolutely shouldn't be able to withstand a strike from an Immortal King Powerhouse. When Cultivating to the later stages, even a difference of a minor Realm is quite fatal.

The only reason he could withstand it now was because his foundation was profound.

As blow after blow rained down, the Magic Treasure on his body became hotter and hotter, proving it had reached its limit. If he were an Immortal Emperor Powerhouse, the opponent wouldn't even be able to make his Magic Treasure feel the slightest bit warm.

This was because the quality of the immortal spirit qi injected into the Magic Treasure was different.

It was like pouring water into a straw.

Clear water would flow out instantly, but if you put in viscous cement, mud, or sand, it would directly clog it up. The flow rate would be vastly different; this was a problem of quality.

After enduring a few more blows, Li Haotian ultimately decided to withdraw the protective shield. All of the opponent's Clones had been eliminated; now was the time for a one-on-one.

If he continued to use this set of Magic Treasure he was wearing, he feared that before long, the protective armor on his body would be completely ruined.

Li Haotian took out his Long Sword and met the opponent's Golden Cudgel head-on.

After colliding multiple times, they both put distance between themselves.

The Monkey King spun his staff in the air, then thrust his Golden Cudgel into the ground, and in an instant, it grew to ten thousand feet tall.

A hundred meters thick.

The massive staff smashed down towards his head, and Li Haotian immediately dodged to the side.

However, after the first strike, the staff actually swept horizontally. This time, Li Haotian had no room to dodge, and a grave expression immediately appeared on his face.

The Monkey King might not be at the limit in other aspects, but within the same Realm, his attack power and destructive capability were absolutely unrivaled.

Li Haotian immediately mobilized all his means and barely withstood the blow. The protective armor on his body had already begun to tremble faintly, looking as if it might shatter.

"If this is all you've got, it's far from enough to accept my Legacy!"

The long staff in the Monkey King's hand shrank back to its original size.

Li Haotian took a couple of light breaths. He really didn't want to use the System's cheats to forcibly boost his strength; he wanted to rely on his own true ability to make the Monkey King admire him.

This was his childhood idol, standing right in front of him in the flesh. If he used methods like cheats, it would be too dishonorable, and he wouldn't be able to forgive himself.

"Watch out!"

Li Haotian understood that the opponent was giving him a chance by creating such a large distance and pausing the attacks, wanting to see what he was truly capable of.

At that moment, the Long Sword in his hand erupted with an extremely brilliant radiance. The Sword Qi, which had almost condensed into a solid form, shot out instantly, causing the surrounding space to shatter inch by inch. The Monkey King's expression also shifted slightly in surprise.

Li Haotian possessed quite formidable attack methods. After this sword strike was unleashed, even the Monkey King had to treat it seriously.

The Monkey King, known for his Indestructible Body, dared not take this strike head-on with his Physical Body. He smashed his Golden Cudgel forward, while his armor emitted a brilliant golden light. The instant they collided, the Monkey King was sent flying backward, taking several steps back before stabilizing his stance.

Li Haotian's mouth twitched slightly; this strike could be considered his full-power attack, equivalent to consuming thirty percent of his reserve of immortal spirit qi in one go, yet it only pushed the opponent back without causing any injury.

The Monkey King's hand holding the Golden Cudgel trembled slightly. He shook his hand vigorously, a look of admiration appearing in his eyes.

"To be able to force me to this point at the Immortal Venerable Realm, you are already very strong. To be honest, in a desperate one-on-one fight, I might not necessarily be your match. It's just a pity that you must completely defeat me to be qualified to know everything."

The Monkey King had no intention of stopping.

In that instant, the Golden Cudgel in his hand transformed into countless staff shadows once again.

They smashed toward Li Haotian's location, covering the sky and earth.

At the same time, the Monkey King used his Seventy-Two Transformations to transform into the appearance of Erlang Shen.

Although he couldn't use the other party's Magic Treasure, he could barely borrow the other party's Divine Ability.

The moment the Eight-Nine Mysterious Art appeared, all the staves in the sky were covered in a layer of pale blue shadow, and then they all smashed down head-on toward Li Haotian's location.

Li Haotian dodged left and right, desperately resisting these staves.

At the same time, he was constantly looking for opportunities to counterattack, his Sword Qi condensing in the air one after another, colliding with these staves.

The staves were not consumables like his Sword Qi; they could exist indefinitely, and as long as the Monkey King's magic power was sufficient to sustain them, they could keep attacking him.

Li Haotian kept summoning Sword Qi, but he could only knock the staves away, and then the opponent would rejoin the battle.

Consequently, his own consumption was clearly not small at all.

"You have yet to earn my approval. Let's end all of this!"

A huge golden phantom suddenly appeared behind the Monkey King; it was none other than the Dharma-Heaven Manifestation of the Earth, which looked just like him.

At the same time, the Monkey King's aura surged tenfold!

[Defeat the Monkey King in his current state to reward the Host with the comprehension of the Dharma-Heaven Manifestation of the Earth!]
