Chapter 827: Faux Seven Elements (I)

“Li Hao!” The Black Armor shifted forward, wanting to help the young man. Or the young madman, rather!

Li Hao raised his hand and shook his head at everyone, murmuring, “You are formed of my aura and contained within a cage. You wish to break out of the cage and do not desire to be a confined tiger. I do not wish so, either!

“Of the auras of the five organs and the auras of the five elements... you are formed of my most blazing emotion! This world is a dark one and not fair. Everyone is as if a prisoner and I, Li Hao, refuse to be such a prisoner!

“But the fist must retract before it can erupt with greater power! You possess the ability of the supernatural lock since you’ve devoured it. Enter the heart for me and help me locate that peculiar space within. Hide within it to emerge with even more stunning force!”

“ROAR!” howled the ferocious tiger. A stunning sight developed before everyone next—a snarling tiger appeared over the heart, one wreathed in flames! It was immensely begrudging and furious, wanting to smash through the cage.

Perhaps this was Li Hao. The tiger snarled, seeming to understand the young man. In reality, the tiger was Li Hao and the young man was the tiger! The fire aura seemed to be alive in this instant.

Under the Black Armor’s stunned gaze, the ferocious tiger howled before slowly withdrawing into the heart. It prowled inside the organ as it became more indistinct. Gradually, even the fire mysterious power disappeared. Something seemed to open with a rumble before the tiger disappeared!

“......” Jaws dropped throughout the group, particularly Chen Zhongtian’s. The man was completely dumbfounded.

Oh my granddaddy, can someone tell me what’s going on?

Li Hao’s heart now resembled that of a mundane’s. There was no supernatural lock, no flames, and no mysterious power. It was an ordinary heart in everyone’s eyes. Perhaps it was a very strong heart, but it was an ordinary heart nonetheless.

“Have you... really discovered the treasure within the human body?” rasped the Black Armor.

“No!” Li Hao shook his head. “The aura has!” He tilted his head back at the other. “I haven’t discovered it, but the aura has. The aura is alive since it has melded with the supernatural lock. The aura is alive! This is my dao, and my dao has discovered that place. Perhaps I can do so myself in the future! This must be a very special characteristic of the human body and might be linked to why modern humans are so physically weak!

“I’ve long wondered where the supernatural locks reside and why we can’t dig them out when someone dies. Why can supernatural locks also exist in ordinary people’s bodies? It must mean that there’s another dimension within us!

“I thought of this when someone told me that Apexes can tear through the void. Since there is another space beyond our space, why can there not be another cavity within the cavity of the human body?

“Therefore, the supernatural locks must reside in that secondary space in regular times. Where there is the supernatural lock is the secondary dimension. Therefore, we can manipulate the supernatural lock through the aura and follow its trajectory to return to the secondary space!”

“......” The Black Armor didn’t know whether to label Li Hao as a lunatic or a genius!

Indeed, since the supernatural locks were so strong, why didn’t they detonate the five organs on a regular basis? Did they really exist within the organs and limbs, or in another dimension associated with them?

The Black Armor looked dazedly at Li Hao. He did not understand modern humans either. Countless years had passed; changes might have occurred in the human body after all this time. Their structure was different from that of ancient humans, but everyone knew that there was great treasure to be found within the human body.

The Black Armor thought of the internal world within his own body and said slowly, “You make a great deal of sense. I do not know whether a secondary dimension exists within the human body, but I do know that one can be created!”

Chen Zhongtian wanted to pee his pants if he could. He raised a shaking hand, the color having drained from his face. Fucking... I’ve... never been in such a terrifying ruin in my life. This is such a tiny place with hundreds of puppets, but each puppet gives me the same feeling as the plant spirits.

How is that possible? My heavens! There’s hundreds of puppets here!

On the other hand, Li Hao’s thoughts were preoccupied with how incredible the ancient Human King was. It was countless years later and these people were long dead, but their lingering mental strength still worshipped the Human King with such fervor. It only took a mention of the Human King to send these people into a near riot.

Indeed, people.

Li Hao knew in this moment that these puppets were all humans. There was only mental strength left of them, but that still made them better off than the Battle Heaven Army. The latter was essentially just possessed armor.

Evenround Martial seemed to be more prosperous as puppets were employed here—each puppet was an ultimate treasure, so these people had retained more of their mental strength. As such, they were stronger.

Can these puppets be the students of yesteryear? Li Hao suddenly wondered with great shock. They were likely all of the Apex level. Hundreds of students were all Apex? There was even the Immortal level! How did this level still make one a student?

An Apex would be a division leader at the Battle Heaven Army, an Immortal would be a reserve commander, so a Saint would be... an army commander??

The young man looked at the Black Armor with disbelief. He hadn’t given much thought to this before, but it turns out that this one... was on the same level as the commander of the Battle Heaven Army?!

Was this still just a martial university with it being so strong??

He was utterly shocked by his line of thought and the Black Armor’s words. Reading the young man’s wild mental ripples, the Black Armor suddenly smiled. “You’re very interesting. Good... luck!”

He vanished, as did the puppets. Li Hao blinked, what did the Black Armor mean by that? That one couldn’t be bothered with him before, but now seemed a bit... warmer? Was it because he’d voiced his speculations about the secondary dimension?

They weren’t baseless thoughts, that other space really did exist. He just wasn’t able to locate it and had to rely on the aura to do it for him.

An internal world? The dao of the Human King?

Li Hao’s heart rose and fell with a variety of thoughts. Whether it was Chen Zhongtian or the others, they also grappled with their emotions. The Black Armor was very strong—they knew that and could sense it.

This heavyweight hadn’t intervened or said anything before. He just sat back and watched until Li Hao brought the supernatural characters into his body. That was when he mentioned the internal world of the Human King’s dao...

What did this mean? Was he comparing Li Hao to the ancient Human King?

The group couldn’t quite believe what’d just taken place. As arrogant as one might be, when anyone reached their level, they knew that they were nothing compared to the ancient civilization. Modern cultivators would die in droves if ancient powerhouses so much as farted on them. And this was the ancient, invincible king that was being spoken of!

Did this mean that the Black Armor thought very highly of Li Hao?
