Follow the path of Dao from infancy Chapter 1743 Chapter 444: Boundary Gate Dao Heart_2

"If this is how it must be... Junior Sister, do not blame your Senior Brother for what happens next!"

His hand tightened into a fist, filled with regret that his memories had returned so late. Following his awakening, he had been forced to seek shelter under the Southern Domain Venerable; otherwise, his very existence would have been in jeopardy.

As these thoughts crossed his mind, Shi Miao, who was standing right next to Li Hao, sensed a shift in the atmosphere and glanced toward the Original Land. Her eyes quickly landed on a young man clad in dark golden armor. When their eyes met, Shi Miao became paralyzed with shock.

Though the passage of time had altered his appearance, those eyes were unmistakable. She could never forget them—that was her Senior Brother!

The Divine Venerable Senior Brother!

He was a peerless genius of supreme talent who had once shared the same level of fame as her.

"So, he actually survived..."

Surprise flickered in Shi Miao's eyes, but it was quickly replaced by concern as she noticed the sharp light in his gaze. Her expression shifted subtly.

Senior Brother... why would he choose to become a disciple in the Original Land?

It was common knowledge that the Original Land served as the gathering point for the Chaos Ancient Clan. Within the Primordial True Realm, there were countless Immortal Emperors he could have chosen to follow. Given the Senior Brother's profound skills and natural talent, any Immortal Emperor would have welcomed him with open arms. Why settle for the Original Land?

The initial shock in her eyes faded into a deep frown. She sifted through her memories at lightning speed, quickly piecing the puzzle together.

Her Senior Brother had undergone reincarnation, becoming a Divine King of the All Heavens, and it seemed his past life's memories were only now resurfacing.

"Is that the Divine King?"

At that moment, Li Hao also felt several hostile, murderous gazes emanating from the Original Land. He traced the source and spotted a familiar face among the crowd. To his surprise, it was the same Divine King who had arrived in the True Realm ahead of everyone else!

Li Hao hadn't anticipated meeting him here. Back in the Heavenly Calamity Illusion Realm, they hadn't engaged in a mortal struggle because the Source Ancestor was present. Now, however, the man was radiating clear killing intent toward him.

"During the Ancient Demon's invasion, they both faked their deaths... I haven't even settled that debt yet, and he's already targeting me?"

A cold light flashed in Li Hao's eyes. The invasion of the Ancient Demon in the True Immortal Realm had forced him to put his life on the line. He had nearly perished. It was only through a stroke of extreme luck that he gained the legacy of the Heavenly Calamity Immortal Emperor; otherwise, he would have died for nothing while others hid.

Noticing the chill in Li Hao's gaze, the Divine King stared back intensely before masking his murderous urges.

He hadn't expected his Junior Sister to be present, but he could tell she had already reached the Immortal King Realm. This meant she would be unable to enter the Endless Heavenly Domain, leaving this brat without a protector.

Once he emerged from the Endless Heavenly Domain, he could achieve a Breakthrough and claim his throne. To him, that bottleneck was something he could shatter at any moment without resistance.

"Brat, you can only blame yourself for grasping something that was never meant for you," the Divine King thought coldly, averting his eyes.

Had Li Hao been alone, the Divine King would have provoked him into a confrontation within the Endless Heavenly Domain. He knew the youth likely wanted him dead; drawing him in would have been easy. However, with his Junior Sister watching, he chose not to reveal his hand just yet.

"He has arrived as well."

In the other Chaos Immortal Cities, several individuals spotted Li Hao, their eyes gleaming with interest.

Among them were Jiang Huanhuan, Lin Jinrou, and others who had become disciples in various Chaos Immortal Cities. They had heard of Li Hao's rising reputation over the last few centuries, and today they finally saw the man himself.

...

"It seems our little Junior Brother is quite the celebrity," Gu Mofan remarked with a light chuckle.

The moment they arrived, a multitude of gazes converged on them. Gu Mofan had noticed that the vast majority of these eyes were fixed squarely on Li Hao.

Li Hao had already made a name for himself by challenging many opponents in the Chaos Dao Field, so his face was well-known to the masses.

Di Lingshu gave a self-deprecating smile upon hearing this. Indeed, when it came to sheer fame, this little Junior Brother was legendary. His sudden rise three hundred years ago had stunned the world, and now he was making his formal debut.

"Is that truly Haotian?"

"The legendary freak who understood 69 stars in a single day? This must be his real body!"

"In a mere three hundred years, he has reached a level where he can rival Brother E Luo!"

"If he manages to fuse 23 Chaos Laws, they say he could break into the top 30 of the Chaos Heavenly Dao list!"

"His exact standing will depend on his mastery of other Tao Realm levels."

Whispers and discussions broke out among the crowd.

The disciples of Extreme Dao Mountain overheard these conversations. Seeing every faction discussing their Haotian Senior Brother filled them with a sense of pride and excitement. After all, this was their sect's pride!

"Hmph!"

While many were impressed, there were plenty of figures within the various factions who cast cold, disdainful looks at Li Hao. They were clearly annoyed by the high praise being heaped upon him.

Fusing 23 Chaos Laws was impressive, but 24 was the true limit. However, because destiny remained hidden, no one had ever achieved the 24th fusion. Beyond laws, there was also the Great Dao Origin, Bloodline Power, and other variables. Fusing 23 laws didn't automatically put everyone on the same playing field.

"It has been a long time since the Human Race produced such a freakish talent," a woman with skin and eyes as white as snow remarked calmly.

She stood as motionless as a statue carved from ice, her entire being radiating a silver-white aura.

"No matter how much of a monster he is, he cannot be compared to you, Miss. The Humans have inherent weaknesses. Although they've improved through bloodline expansion, only a handful of their lineages are even worth mentioning," a silver-white young woman standing beside her said respectfully.

"Why would you even think to compare him to me?"

The snow-white woman's eyes turned icy as she heard the flattery. She shifted her gaze toward her attendant.

The young woman froze, instantly gripped by terror. Her pupils shook as she hurriedly bowed her head. "Miss, I... I didn't mean..."

With a dull thud, a bright red handprint suddenly manifested on the attendant's face. The sound wasn't a sharp slap, but rather the heavy thud of a strike. To one's horror, tiny, icy cracks began to spiderweb across the young woman's delicate face.
