Chapter 982 You Look Like Someone
“Li Da?” Ding Hao was stunned for a moment and then realized something in an instant.
“The name of the God of War of Mysterious Frost in the Northern Region is Zhou San, and Lord Buddha of the Great Leiyin Monastery was called Liang Er by the black demonic lotus. Then, this Li Da… Could he be… Could he be the Central Region Supreme God of War?”
Such a guess greatly shocked Ding Hao.
On the Land of Infinity, there were five dominators in the five regions of the Human Clan, who had been on par with each other. Among them, the Central Region Supreme God of War was the most distinguished. For tens of thousand years, he was tacitly admitted as the most powerful of the five supreme masters, suppressing the Divine Central Continent, the most fertile, powerful, and vast region among the five regions.
Before this, Ding Hao had been mentally prepared to see the Central Region Supreme God of War on the Mount Immortal Tao due to the previous occurrences, but he had never expected that the most legendary dominator of the Human Clan on the Land of Infinity was actually a naughty child.
“I’m Ding Hao. It’s my honor to see you, Supreme God of War.” Ding Hao bowed respectfully.
Lei Tingchan and Golden Cicada had already guessed the real identity of this naughty child in front of them. While being shocked, they both showed respectful expressions and bowed to him.
“Supreme God of War?” Lying on the slate beside the pond, Li Da crossed his legs and stretched lazily. He said indifferently, “I have disliked the name since three thousand years ago. Several guys with no shrewdness had called me that, so I killed them all. But the three of you… Since you don’t know the rule, I won’t punish you. However, you’d better keep this in your mind. Don’t call me that anymore. Just call me Li Da.”
Ding Hao and the other two pulled wry faces.
The Central Region Supreme God of War greatly surprised the three that he was completely beyond their imagination. He had no demeanor of a senior or a master at all, compared with the God of War of Mysterious Frost in the Northern Region who was calm and majestic, and Lord Buddha of the Great Leiyin Monastery who was taciturn.
“Ah-… Ahchoo… I’m so sleepy. I’m tired from catching the fish just now. I have to take a rest. You three can leave now. Don’t stay here and disturb the sleep of an old man. Just go as far as you can. Let’s see who is the lucky one.” Li Da, the Central Region Supreme God of War, lazily patted his mouth, yawned, and asked them to leave.
The three of them didn’t dare say anything else. They bowed and continued to go up the slope.
After walking for several hundred meters, Ding Hao suddenly staggered when he looked back, as he saw that the Central Region Supreme God of War had taken off his loose robe and was catching lice under the sunshine with an enthusiastic look on his face…
“Is he really the supreme existence that had dominated the Human Clan on the Land of Infinity?”
Ding Hao was utterly speechless.
Golden Cicada was filled with regret along the way because he had rejected the Central Region Supreme God of War’s invitation to eat the fish. By now, the three of them could tell that the big white fish must have been a terrifying existence guarding this pass, but it had been captured and roasted by the Central Region Supreme God of War.
…How much essence of heaven and earth and energy would an existence comparable to the Central Region Supreme God of War contain? One bite of its meat could make an ordinary man become an Absolute Superior. It was comparable to magical elixirs, but he had refused to eat it!
Just thinking about it made Golden Cicada feel a pang of regret.
“I’ll stop being a vegetarian. I’ll eat meat only,” He swore bitterly.
Ding Hao and Lei Tingchan were both speechless.
“You are actually a meat-eating and wine-drinking monk, okay?”
While rushing forward, Ding Hao ran the Invincible Fighting Method to refine the energy in his body.
Although Ding Hao had only eaten a piece of meat from the big white fish, he felt that the purest energy was gushing out from every pore in his body. The quality of the energy was far above that of a Saint-level or ordinary god-level master. Once it was completely refined, he could advance by one or two small realms.
The big white fish was definitely comparable to the black demonic lotus or the three strange men in black.
Ding Hao knew very well that the reason why he could absorb the essential energy of this horrible existence so easily was that the Central Region Supreme God of War had removed the ferocious killing intent from the big white fish’s body with the latter’s great magical power and refined it into the purest Power of the Origin. Otherwise, the energy would be too ferocious for anyone to bear it except the Central Region Supreme God of War.
This also indirectly showed that the strength of the Central Region Supreme God of War was indeed extraordinary. When the God of War of Mysterious Frost in the Northern Region and the Lord Buddha of the Great Leiyin Monastery were still confronting their opponents respectively, he had already captured his opponent and roasted it.
Mount Immortal Tao towered into the clouds.
Ding Hao and the other two spent another two hours running upward nearly 10,000 meters.
Lei Tingchan and Golden Cicada seemed to have not been suppressed by the terrifying gravity, either. They could keep up with Ding Hao.
“Some people are ahead.”
Ding Hao halted.
There were several figures in the front. Ding Hao recognized one of them at a glance. He was the Third Divine Prince, Ding Xinghua, the handsome and gentle martial arts genius who stuck to the bottom line all the time.
And the man standing opposite him was Thunder Roar, Ding Ling.
“Hahaha, my dear Third Uncle, you certainly didn’t expect that my strength would be improved so fast…” Ding Ling’s triumphant laughter rang out from a distance, like the strange cry of an owl sounding weird and gruesome.
“You’re just quenching thirst with poison.” Ding Xinghua’s voice was always peaceful and full of noble majesty.
“Haha, regardless of whether I’m quenching thirst with poison or I’ve transcended eternity, I have obtained immortality anyway. Moreover, I’ve obtained invincible power. My dear Third Uncle, you are no match for me now. If I cut off your head and show it to the two monsters, Busan and Busi, what expressions do you think they will have?”
Ding Ling’s laughter sounded vicious, which could make one shudder with fear.
It was obvious that he hated Ding Busan and Ding Busi to the extreme.
As soon as Ding Ling finished speaking, he sensed something, so he suddenly turned back and looked into the distance. He saw that Ding Hao and the other two were rushing over rapidly. However, he retracted his focus indifferently after the glance and continued to stare at Ding Xinghua.
Ding Hao stopped ten meters away from them.
He was also a little surprised.
“How could it be Ding Ling?
“I have defeated him. Why is he here?”
Ding Hao frowned slightly as he observed Ding Ling carefully. It seemed that something strange had happened to Ding Ling. A kind of evil dark power surging like tides inside his body was overflowing. On his handsome face, bluish-black veins winded under the surface skin like ferocious snakes. And his eyes were sunken and black-ringed.
On the opposite side, Ding Xinghua was not in a good state. There was a trace of black blood at the corner of his mouth.
It seemed that Ding Xinghua, whose strength was supposed to be more powerful, had suffered a loss in the previous fight.
“It’s you? You’ve finally come.” Ding Xinghua was slightly stunned as he noticed Ding Hao, but then he realized something. His eyes lit up and he nodded with a smile.
Ding Hao knew that Ding Xinghua must have recognized him.
Although Ding Xinghua didn’t know his real identity, Ding Xinghua had known that he was the one who got three Purple-gold Cards from the Eldest Divine Prince.
“Sir, are you okay?” asked Ding Hao with concern.
Ding Xinghua shook his head and said with a smile, “You go forward. There is something more important for you to do. I’m fine.”
Half an hour later, Ding Hao stood on the mountain road about five kilometers away from the peak of Mount Immortal Tao.
Twenty meters away from Ding Hao, a tall and straight figure in a black robe stood with his back to Ding Hao.
The powerful gales around the mountain were piercingly cold and were blowing the man’s black robe, making it flutter fiercely. The fluttering sound of the robe echoed between heaven and earth like the roars of a black evil dragon. This man stood there quietly with his hands clasped behind his back. However, he gave people a feeling that he was just like an insurmountable wall that could stop anyone in the world.
Ding Hao narrowed his eyes.
As soon as sensing the man’s aura, Ding Hao recognized him.
“It seems that this man is waiting for me here.”
Looking at the man’s back, Ding Hao immediately understood that the man knew that he was coming and was able to come to this place, thus the man waited for him in this place.
Ding Hao turned around and looked down.
Lei Tingchan and Golden Cicada did not come to this place with Ding Hao. They chose to stay with Ding Xinghua and help him deal with Thunder Roar, Ding Ling who had undergone a metamorphosis.
Ding Hao was very surprised by their choices.
as they might get the Immortal Artifact if they went a little further. It was an irresistible temptation for anyone. But unexpectedly, the two Buddhist successors’ attitudes were the same. They seemed to have found something more important than the Immortal Artifact on Ding Ling.
“My fate is here,” said Golden Cicada.
“My Buddha is here,” said Lei Tingchan.
Ding Hao didn’t fully understand what they had said. He vaguely felt that Ding Ling’s power seemed to have something to do with the Buddhism sutra, but he couldn’t clearly tell what the connection was between them. Ding Hao suspected that this power might be the intention of Lord Buddha of the Great Leiyin Monastery, and it might involve the secrets of Buddhism.
Therefore, Ding Hao could only let them do what they wanted.
He reached this place alone and encountered the man who was destined to be his enemy—Ding Tong.
He was the youth who seized the blood essence of Ding Hao’s Divine Body 16 years ago and was the peerless genius who had almost suppressed all the others in the battle in the Hundred Thousand Mountains. Till now, he was still regarded by countless people as the No. 1 genius on the entire Eastern Continent and even the Land of Divine Grace.
He finally appeared.
“You’re a bit slower than I expected.”
Ding Tong slowly turned around as his voice drifted down from the mountain road, which was cold but could not conceal his pride.
He was as handsome, tall, peerless, arrogant, and condescending as he was a few months ago. The only change was that his right eye was covered with a black eyepatch, and there was a black belt across his temple and left cheek to fix the oval black eyepatch.
Ding Tong had been a one-eyed man.
His right eye was injured.
Ding Hao was taken aback.
“It seems that the previous rumor was right. The No. 1 genius of the God’s Palace has been seriously injured. Even one of his Eyes of Fate with Seven Stars has been damaged. And it seems that it can’t be cured, so he has to wear an eyepatch.
Ding Hao looked up and gazed into Ding Tong’s eye calmly.
There seemed to be sparks bursting in the air the moment their gazes met.
“You wore a bronze grimace mask in the battle in the Hundred Thousand Mountains. Now you put on a false face. Do you think you’re unfit to be seen? As a man, why do you have to change your appearance frequently? How about showing your true face? I’ll give you a chance to have a fair fight with me.” Ding Tong walked down the mountain road at an extremely slow pace.
He seemed to have integrated with Mount Immortal Tao instantly.
“Allright.” Ding Hao nodded. “Then you’ll know who defeats you.”
Before Ding Hao finished his words, his body swelled strangely, his facial skin rippled like water, and his bones made crackling sounds like thunder. He soon returned to his true appearance.
A strange light flashed in Ding Tong’s remaining eye. “You look like someone.”
