Chapter 1453: Setting Out (I)
“......” Li Hao was rendered speechless by Celestial Pole’s outburst. “To put it simply, let’s use offensive skill as an example. There are two main factors when it comes to the dao of life and death. First, the extraction of life force! That accelerates aging. While it looks like the passage of time, it’s different.
“The dao of life and death is applicable only to entities that are alive! It’s ineffective on items! I can cause an exalted emperor to die of old age, but I cannot make his weapon decay. Time encompasses life and death. Whether it is the living or items, they can all grow old. Even weapons can be rusted into hunks of metal given sufficient time!
“Second, if life force can be extracted, so can death force! I can force someone on the brink of death to hover on the edge of life as I continuously extract death force from them. I can also inject death force into someone and kill them that way!”
It sounded simple, but was horrifying to the group. Being able to extract life force or inject death qi into someone, causing even exalted emperors to age, was exceedingly terrifying.
It was very hard for exalted emperors to grow old. But based on Li Hao’s meaning, he should be able to do it.
“Can yin and yang not do the same?”
“No...” Li Hao shook his head. “Of course, any dao will do when you’re strong enough. If you’re strong enough, you can hack an exalted emperor into two when you grab ahold of him. There’s no difference even when death is upon you!
“Whether it is yin and yang, or life and death, each has its own unique characteristics. But for the moment, the dao of yin and yang looks to be simply the reversal of yin and yang. Being able to come back from the dead is impressive enough already!”
Celestial Pole didn’t say anything else when he heard these words. Those of New Martial didn’t understand much when it came to the great dao. They focused on their own dao when they reached the exalted emperor level and didn’t comprehend much of other daos.
“Then... do you think you’d be able to defeat the previous chaos beast if it appeared now?” Celestial Pole changed the topic. He only knew that he himself was stronger than the chaos beast, but not as strong as the Red Moon exalted emperor that came after.
He was a peak second rank exalted emperor, not yet in the third rank. That was also a very long time ago, even if only fifty years had passed in the chaos universe.
The New Martial powerhouses should’ve kept up a fast rate of improvement since they marched in all directions for their conquest. If his primary body was lucky, he wouldn’t be weaker than the Red Moon exalted emperor.
