Xuan Tian Saint Son holds a revered status, able to sit on equal footing with the Sect Master, and anyone else must show respect in his presence.

As a senior elder of the Luminous Saint Land, Gu Zao's status is lower than even an ordinary elder of the Xuan Tian Sect, let alone the Saint Son. However, due to his strong power, he inevitably carries an air of arrogance, and from the Sect Master to the elders, all must yield to him.

But Qin Hao is different. Whether one is a dragon or a tiger, in his presence, all must submit.

Those who follow me will thrive, those who oppose me will perish. Daring to provoke him will lead to immediate suppression!

This is the domineering aura of the Heavenly Emperor!

Unfortunately, although Gu Zao investigated Qin Hao's situation, he obviously did not understand the details. He still maintained an arrogant attitude as if he were a king among men, coldly mocking, "You are Qin Hao? The guy who couldn't break through a single realm in ten years, the so-called waste prince? You've managed to become the Saint Son through sheer luck, and now you think you can overlook the world and regard yourself as superior?"

"Gu Zao, be careful with your words!"

Duan Changsheng's expression suddenly turned cold.

For Gu Zao to insult the Xuan Tian Saint Son so recklessly in the ancestral hall was equivalent to slapping the entire Xuan Tian Sect in the face.

If the situation were not so unfavorable, Duan Changsheng would have suppressed him long ago.

But Duan Changsheng feared the Luminous Saint Land behind Gu Zao, while Qin Hao had no such qualms.

Anyone who dares to provoke me, I will destroy them!

"The reputation of this Saint Son is not something you can casually utter. Kneel down!"

In front of everyone, facing insults and disrespect, Qin Hao couldn't tolerate it. With a sudden shout, his voice was like thunder, and a trace of the aura of the Heavenly Emperor burst forth from him.

"Insolent junior, kneel down and confess your sins, and I can overlook the past. Otherwise, you won't be able to withstand the wrath of a king!"

Gu Zao was completely unprepared for such a strong and domineering response from a mere Spiritual Sea Realm junior. He was immediately enraged.

"Gu Zao, what do you intend to do?"

Duan Changsheng stood up directly, his aura soaring like a soaring sword, his ice-cold eyes staring at Gu Zao, obviously becoming angry.

"What do I intend to do?" However, Gu Zao didn't even put him, a Yuan Shen Realm powerhouse, in his eyes, speaking with an arrogant tone, "I'm just here to teach this so-called Saint Son of yours a lesson!"

The atmosphere in the ancestral hall became tense, causing the elders of the Xuan Tian Sect to be bewildered and at a loss.

"Haha..."

Suddenly, Qin Hao laughed out loud, a majestic aura emanating from him. After a moment, his laughter stopped, and his sharp gaze fell on Gu Zao.

"In this world, who dares to teach me? Even the heavens have no qualifications. What are you, then?"

Qin Hao's voice was stern and loud, with a thunderous quality. His face was filled with a contemptuous smile.

"Daring to challenge me? You're far from it!"

Under Qin Hao's disdainful gaze, Gu Zao's lungs were about to explode. He immediately roared, triggering the power of heaven and earth to roar, and a large golden palm print formed around him, like a compressing void, then formed into a huge golden palm print, slamming down towards Qin Hao fiercely.

The palm print, engraved with patterns, was as dazzling as golden glass, emitting a majestic aura, as if it could move mountains and suppress the sea.

"This is the Heaven-ranked martial art of the Luminous Saint Land — the Glass Town Sea Seal!"

Duan Changsheng recognized it at a glance, his heart filled with worry.

The recently repaired Boundless Xuan Formation could deal with a powerhouse at the Yuan Shen Realm, but Gu Zao, as an elite powerhouse cultivated by the Luminous Saint Land, had already stepped into the Perfection Realm of the Yuan Shen Realm. Moreover, he was using a Heaven-ranked martial art, a power that could rival the Emperors of the Perfection Realm.

Heaven-ranked martial arts were second only to the supreme martial arts of the Saint Dao.

However, before Duan Changsheng could rush to assist, Qin Hao, facing the pressure of the Glass Town Sea Seal, showed a hint of mockery on his face.

"Kneel down!"

Suddenly, Qin Hao shouted, a vast aura bursting out from him, and with a single press of his hand, boundless innate qi surged out, connecting with the Boundless Xuan Formation. A giant fish with wings on its back, supporting the heavens and the earth, appeared above Gu Zao's head.

The power of the Boundless Xuan Formation was activated, emitting dazzling divine light, and the giant fish became even more solid.

Faintly, Duan Changsheng seemed to see the miraculous scene of the giant fish breaking through the sea, spreading its wings three thousand miles wide, and soaring up to the nine heavens.

"Anomaly born, qi changes, this is... the Myriad Manifestation Realm!"

Duan Changsheng was completely shocked.

Just three months had passed since he broke through to the Divine Sea Realm, and Qin Hao had already crossed another major realm, advancing to the Myriad Manifestation Realm. Such a speed of advancement was simply astonishing.

Boom!

At this moment, the shadow of a Kunpeng appeared above the ancestral hall, divine light surging in the void, as if it were about to recreate the heavens and the earth, shocking everyone present.

Meanwhile, Qin Hao stood there, amidst chaos, his pressure engulfing the surroundings, his black hair fluttering, his clothes rustling, his eyes shining brightly, like a young supreme, emitting a radiant light that made people dare not look directly at him.

"Kneel down!"

Suddenly, Qin Hao's voice rang out like thunder, with a strange rhythm in every syllable, as if it carried the might of the heavens and the earth, pressing down on Gu Zao. Immediately, his face turned pale.

The overwhelming pressure, the aura of dominance that shook the heavens and the earth, even Gu Zao, who was about to become the Saint Master, had never felt it before.

But soon, this feeling of panic turned into shame and anger when faced with Qin Hao, a younger generation.

"Seeking death!"

Gu Zao roared, and his killing intent surged out without restraint. Instantly, he attacked.

Boom!

The Glass Town Sea Seal he released was instantly shattered, turning into waves of energy dissipation.

And he himself felt as if struck by lightning, feeling the pressure of the world pressing down on him, causing him to spew blood uncontrollably, his knees bending uncontrollably, almost breaking his leg bones.

"Impossible!"

He roared in frustration, but it was in vain. What followed was even more overwhelming pressure, and his legs could no longer support him, crashing to the ground with a loud bang.

"What?"

The elders of the Xuan Tian Sect were all shocked. In just a moment, they hadn't even reacted yet, and they found Gu Zao tremblingly kneeling before Qin Hao.

The atmosphere in the ancestral hall was trembling, and the divine light in the void was surging, as if it were about to reopen the heavens and the earth, shocking everyone.

And Qin Hao stood there, towering over Gu Zao, looking down at him, a smile playing on his lips.

"Qin Hao!"

Gu Zao's face was red with anger, and he roared furiously, "Junior, you're just relying on the power of the formation! If you have the courage, release me and we'll have a fair fight outside the mountain. I can suppress you with ease!"

"Relying on the power of the formation?"

Qin Hao shook his head and sneered, "You're several realms higher than this Saint Son, yet you dare to talk about a fair fight? If you and this Saint Son fight at the same realm, this Saint Son will kill you like slaughtering a dog!"

Gu Zao's face turned purple with rage, his whole body trembling, his eyes filled with an incomparable fury, as if he wished to tear Qin Hao into pieces. But being suppressed single-handedly by Qin Hao, he couldn't move at all.

At this time, Duan Changsheng stepped forward, glanced at Gu Zao, and found that he was not in mortal danger. Then he breathed a sigh of relief.

Just now, he was afraid that Qin Hao would act recklessly in his anger and kill Gu Zao, which would completely antagonize the Luminous Saint Land and bring disaster to the Xuan Tian Sect.

But now, it seemed that although Qin Hao was reckless and uninhibited, he was not a hot-headed fool. His eyes were wise, and his actions were extremely measured, making Duan Changsheng feel inferior in comparison.

"The Saint Son is mighty. This old man has insulted our Xuan Tian Sect many times. It's good to see him lose face. Let him dare to look down on our Xuan Tian Sect again!"

"Haha, although the Luminous Saintess is talented, our Xuan Tian Saint Son is like a hidden dragon in the abyss!"

Seeing Gu Zao being suppressed, the elders of the Xuan Tian Sect breathed a sigh of relief and their spirits were uplifted.

"By the way, hasn't the Saint Son been in seclusion for cultivation all this time? Why did he come out so soon?" the Grand Elder curiously asked.

"Hmph, I heard that someone wanted to propose marriage to me. As the rightful party, how could I not show up?" Qin Hao sneered.
