Chapter 1493: Demon Summit (I)
It was the day to welcome the addition of the Utmost Dark exalted emperors to Dragon Observatory, but Void and Hao Moon had put a huge dampener on the atmosphere. The crowd was suddenly less inclined to continue the festivities.
They were gathered to discuss dao, but interest had flagged immensely for it. When the Dragon Observatory leader saw that Drouth had mentally disengaged from the discussion, he concluded the proceedings. “Then let us make our preparations to enter Demon Summit tomorrow. As for discussing dao, we can do that anytime!”
He flicked a glance at Li Hao and Void. You bastards!
Aw, are they not going to talk about dao anymore? Li Hao was actually a bit regretful. Although Void said that it won’t be very useful, I’m still curious. Were the two of us too much?
No, it’s not my fault. He looked skeptically at Void. It’s all your fault, man! Why did you interrupt their conversation!
Void looked back at him, seeming to read the young man’s mind. He smiled and suddenly transmitted, “Discussing dao is boring. Only those who wish to comprehend dao can enter once Demon Summit is open. The dao of darkness is one that overshadows the world. You can give it a try yourself tomorrow. They won’t discover your identity!
“What kind of chat about dao beats actually picking a fight? Of course, don’t provoke the fifth rank. You can try your hand with the others, but don’t actually kill them. That’ll lead to trouble for you!”
“My thanks!” Li Hao immediately grasped Void’s intentions.
“You’re welcome!” Void smiled. This was just a minor matter; he was hosting a personal colosseum for the lad and it wasn’t costing him anything to do so.
Li Hao got down to the business of planning out his next moves. There were several third ranks among the five Utmost Dark exalted emperors. It would be nice to use them as practice targets and see if he was able to match third ranks after he was a second rank himself. That was better than constant speculation and deduction out of thin air.
He’d never properly challenged a third rank—the Red Moon powerhouse had been mobbed to death in a group. Borrowed strength had always been part of his fights as well. This time, he could try single combat without using external force!
A smile spread across Li Hao’s face. This was a nice opportunity! It would be even better if he gleaned something from the dao of darkness.
