Follow the path of Dao from infancy Chapter 1729 Chapter 438: This Disciple Has Not Failed You (Part 2)

The youth slowly unfurled his eyelids, exposing a pair of double pupils—one pitch black and the other stark white. These were the legendary Holy Demon Eyes, famous throughout the Primordial True Realm!

“These 23 Chaos Laws have truly reached their limit. I can only imagine how daunting the supreme 24 Chaos Laws would be if destiny had not been stripped away!”

As he whispered to himself, his form blurred, instantly reappearing at the Emperor Hall located on the central peak of the Original Land.

He entered the Emperor Hall, intent on asking his master for the secret method to fuse 23 Chaos Laws.

Before long, he received the master's guidance and achieved some enlightenment. However, even with the assistance of an Immortal Emperor, the actual help in merging Chaos Laws was minimal. Such a feat touched upon the ultimate peak of an Immortal Lord, a realm where external aid could only provide a slight nudge; the rest depended on oneself.

Even so, such a nudge was the very thing millions of geniuses pined for.

At times, a tiny hint is all that is required to trigger a massive breakthrough!

“Hmm?”

Just as he stepped out of the Emperor Hall to return to his meditation, a flood of notifications reached him. He scanned them casually, but his gaze suddenly sharpened.

“Fusing 21 Chaos Laws? In a mere century?”

He narrowed his eyes, scouring the Chaos Heavenly Dao ranking for that specific figure. However, the name “Haotian” was nowhere to be found among those who had merged 21 layers. It was immediately obvious to him that the other party had masked their data.

“Hmph!”

“The reincarnation of an emperor? This is getting interesting. It looks like the Endless Heavenly Domain will become quite chaotic in two hundred years!”

A freezing smirk played on the young man's lips. The prospect of competing in the same era as a reincarnated emperor did not intimidate him; instead, it ignited his fighting spirit.

This was perfect!

Rather than feeling fear or concern, he felt a burning ambition to crush this emperor reincarnation beneath his boots, using the fallen emperor’s prestige as a stepping stone to reach the heavens!

“My destiny is mine to control. Even if you are an emperor reborn into a Human Race bloodline, what of it? If you become a nuisance, I will simply send you to your second reincarnation!”

With a newfound vigilance, he retreated to his mountain cave to resume his Cultivation.

...

“He merged 21 Chaos Laws?”

Elsewhere in the Original Land, atop a soaring peak, a youth clad in dark golden armor received the news. His expression shifted violently.

Ever since his initial loss to that opponent, he felt he understood the limits of the other's bottleneck. Who could have guessed that after only a few decades of silence, the opponent would experience such a meteoric rise!

To jump from merging nine Chaos Laws straight to twenty-one!

One must realize that even with his own extraordinary talent, it would take five or six centuries to fuse 12 Chaos Laws!

“This is bad!”

A sudden realization hit him regarding the blood duel gift he had orchestrated for Li Hao!

He had used the lure of fragmented Emperor Techniques to entice an expert who had merged 16 Chaos Laws into a blood duel with Li Hao, hoping to either kill or cripple him.

But now...

Before he could even retrieve his Jade Token to send a warning, the device began to vibrate intensely.

He hurriedly linked his divine sense to it, only to hear a panicked voice on the other end:

“It’s a disaster, Brother Bai Shen! Brother Kong Nie has been slain by Haotian in the blood duel!”

The face of the youth in dark golden armor drained of color, turning deathly pale. He was a moment too late.

“Brother Bai Shen, the Vermilion Blood Peacock Clan of the Chaos Ancient Clan begs you to petition the Original Immortal Emperor to resurrect Brother Kong Nie.”

The voice was frantic, filled with desperation and pleading.

The youth in dark golden armor squeezed his fist tight. His master had never archived Kong Nie’s Soul Heart; how could a resurrection be possible?

The only way would be to harness the power of the Heavenly Dao to rewind time itself. While an Immortal Emperor could certainly do this, the cost in Heavenly Dao Power within the Primordial True Realm would be astronomical. It all came down to whether the person was worth such a price.

“What price is the Vermilion Blood Peacock Clan prepared to pay?”

The youth in dark golden armor asked in a somber tone.

Since he was the one who sent Kong Nie, his reputation in the Original Land would be ruined if he did nothing.

“The Vermilion Blood Peacock Clan is offering three Domain Artifacts drenched in the blood of the Heavenly Dao as an exchange!”

The armored youth took a silent breath of relief. The clan understood the gravity of the request, though he knew this alone might not move his master. He would likely have to contribute something of his own as well.

“I understand. I will go and plead with the master,” he answered.

“Our deepest thanks, Brother Bai Shen!”

The person on the other side expressed their gratitude quickly, but as soon as the Jade Pendant connection was severed, they spat on the ground in disgust.

“That Bai Shen has sent people to blood duel Haotian twice now, and both have died. He clearly knows it's an emperor reincarnation, yet he's too cowardly to act himself, choosing instead to send others to the slaughter. Truly a despicable member of the Human Race!”

Within the Original Land, the majority of disciples were from the Chaos Ancient Clan, as the Original Immortal Emperor himself originated from them. The few Human Race members present were generally despised.

“Damn it, how can anyone merge 21 Chaos Laws in just a hundred years? It’s impossible!”

Once the communication ended, the youth in dark golden armor shook with rage. Suddenly, a terrifying thought struck his mind like a bolt of lightning, filling him with dread.

“Could he be more than just a true disciple? Could he be... the master’s reincarnation?!”

“Was the master never truly dead?!”

The mere thought made his skin crawl with horror.

If the master discovered his treacherous plots, the penalty would be beyond comprehension!

He felt a bone-chilling cold, considering he was now a disciple of the Original Immortal Emperor and relied on the Southern Domain Venerable. No, it had to be impossible. He had personally watched the master exhaust his Emperor Dao and drain his Heavenly Dao Power before being struck down by the Ancient Demon Emperor and his allies. He was dead; there was no way he could have survived.
