Follow the path of Dao from infancy Chapter 1746 Chapter 445: Crossing the River, Sixth Stage of the Chaos Dao! (Part 2)

Li Hao threw a casual glance toward the Chaos Red Demon Clan, nodding slightly, though he didn't truly take them to heart.

Shortly after, they arrived before the Boundary Gate.

As Li Hao stepped into a specific domain, he felt a terrifying power scanning every inch of his body, causing a strange sense of unease to bubble up within him. Suddenly, a massive, earth-shattering boom erupted above his head.

Like the shattering of chaos itself, the sound was so thunderous that it caused the entirety of Boundary Flipping Mountain to vibrate.

The figures who were rushing forward froze in their tracks. Their expressions twisted in horror as they stared toward the boundary mountain, where a golden mist had begun to swirl violently.

Even Di Lingshu was shaken by the unexpected shock of the sound. Startled, she lifted her head in disbelief.

She witnessed the golden divine mist rolling incessantly before hundreds of golden dragons suddenly erupted from within. These dragons merged into nine colossal golden thunder dragons that dove straight toward Li Hao.

Simultaneously, the remaining thunder dragons shifted into a straight, golden divine bridge that extended downward until it rested at Li Hao's feet.

As the nine dragons wove and danced around the divine bridge, they circled Li Hao, radiating a terrifying aura that warned others not to approach.

"A Dao Heart Divine Bridge? A State of Mind Emperor Dao?!"

In the distance, many powerful experts, including Gu Mofan, were paralyzed by the sight before their faces filled with pure astonishment.

They had come to escort the prodigies of their Sects and clans, never expecting to witness such a legendary spectacle.

The Dao Heart Divine Bridge was a thing of myth—a phenomenon said to manifest only when a cultivator's Dao Heart transcends eternity while passing through a boundary gate.

"Who is that youth? His Dao Heart actually surpasses eternity!"

"This... this is already touching the realm of a half-step Emperor Realm Dao Heart! How can this be? He is only in the Immortal Monarch Realm!"

"Could he be Haotian?"

The powerful experts watched with focused, shocked eyes. While they had heard of Haotian’s fame, they hadn't given it much weight before. No matter how gifted, he was still worlds apart from them. After all, they stood at the Quasi-Emperor Realm, just a single step away from the Great Emperor—the pinnacle of Cultivation!

Having reached such heights, they were usually indifferent, finding it difficult for anything to stir their interest.

To those at the end of the path, even the most brilliant geniuses seem ordinary; reaching the limit simply means they will enter the Great Emperor Realm sooner or later.

"Junior Brother’s Dao Heart..."

Gu Mofan was internally rocked. Possessing a Dao Heart that surpassed eternity while still in the Immortal Monarch Realm meant that as long as his Junior Brother continued his Cultivation, reaching the Quasi-Emperor Realm was guaranteed!

As for ascending to become a Great Emperor... that was a matter of destiny and fortuitous encounters that no one could foresee.

Nevertheless, it was certain that his Junior Brother had already claimed half a ticket to the absolute summit!

"It’s no wonder Master holds him in such high regard..." Gu Mofan mused to himself.

Standing beside Li Hao, Di Lingshu was equally stunned, her hand flying to her mouth in shock. This Junior Brother’s performance had shattered her expectations, leaving her in a constant state of amazement.

Despite her high status within the Emperor Clan, she had been startled by Li Hao three times now, feeling as though she had been reduced to a mere bystander.

"Hmm?"

Just as he was about to cross the gate, the figure from the Chaos Red Demon Clan stopped abruptly. His eyes gleamed as he stared intently at the youth standing upon the Dao Heart Divine Bridge, surrounded by nine soaring dragons.

The scene was so magnificent that no one could miss the extraordinary aura radiating from the youth.

"A Dao Heart surpassing eternity..."

The Chaos Red Demon Clan member squeezed his fists. The momentum he had just built was completely eclipsed; no one was looking at him anymore.

Furthermore, compared to Li Hao’s nine dragons and the Divine Bridge, his own single ten-dragon-merged entity revealed a humiliating gap in their status.

"Humph!"

He let out a cold snort, turned his back, and departed without a second look.

"That guy..."

Luo Ningshuang watched the scene, her eyes widening with disbelief.

Her brow soon furrowed as she stared at the boy’s back, realizing his foundation was far deeper and more frightening than she had imagined!

Compared to the Chaos Red Demon Clan, this boy was likely to be a much more dangerous opponent!

"He..." Lin Zhexuan stood frozen, the color draining from his face until he was pale. He never anticipated such a massive divide even in the strength of their Dao Heart.

That youth had completely outstripped him.

A wave of sorrow and indignation washed over him, accompanied by a sense of shameful resentment that left his mind momentarily blank.

"Is that his Dao Heart?"

The sisters of the Su family were also stunned by the sight. Su Muqing’s eyes were wide with shock. Back in the Northern Domain, she had assumed the boy wasted his thoughts on her, drowning in romance and trivial emotions, which suggested a weak Dao Heart. She never dreamed his Dao Heart would transcend eternity.

How was this possible?

He clearly didn't seem to be pursuing Cultivation, so how could he possess such a Dao Heart?

How could someone who didn't chase power, and even seemed to abandon it for fleeting pleasures, surpass eternity?

Su Muqing couldn't wrap her head around it, but she felt a deepening sense of pain and regret, realizing she had never truly understood him.

"He’s still the same..."

Within the crowd, Gu Yan and Yue Xi spotted Li Hao and shared a bitter smile. Ever since they had met him, he always seemed to become the focal point of any gathering.

Yet, their personal impression of Li Hao was that of a man who preferred to keep a very low profile.

"His Dao Heart..."

The eyes of Sword Heart and Ming Yue grew misty. Even in this gathering of elite talents where they felt their own light fading, this boy not only remained visible but completely outshone the brilliance of every other top genius.
