Follow the path of Dao from infancy Chapter 1747 Chapter 445: Competing to Cross, Sixth Stage of the Chaos Dao! (Part 3)

"Is this the source of his arrogance, allowing him to turn down the master?"

Sword Heart and Ming Yue traded looks of disbelief. Having watched Li Hao’s legendary progress over the last three centuries, they were now witnessing the absolute peak of his Dao Heart. Their previous skepticism regarding the youth's refusal of the master’s offer began to fade. It occurred to them that perhaps he truly possessed the qualifications to decline even an Immortal Emperor.

...

"What exactly is happening?"

Li Hao looked around at the shifting environment, his expression laced with confusion.

Shaking off her shock, Di Lingshu looked at him with a complicated gaze and began to provide an explanation.

Li Hao nodded once he understood, though he remained largely indifferent to the revelation. Noting the nine dragons swirling around her, he simply remarked, "Let's move out."

"Understood."

Di Lingshu forced herself to remain calm. With a faint, bitter smile, she followed closely behind him.

Passing through the Boundary Gate, they emerged onto a massive stone platform. Stretched out before them was a turbulent, swirling vortex—the Chaos River, which served as the gateway to the Endless Heavenly Domain.

The platform was already crowded with various figures, including that youth from the Chaos Red Demon Clan who had made the crossing earlier.

A powerful barrier restricted movement on the platform, preventing anyone from recklessly diving into the Chaos River. Everyone was forced to wait for the right moment.

"So, this is the Chaos River..."

Moving to the very edge of the platform, Li Hao and Di Lingshu scrutinized the area. They could feel the devastating energy swirling within the vortex. One would likely be consumed and destroyed instantly if they hadn't mastered the power of Chaos.

"Hey brat, I've heard your Foundation is quite formidable. After three centuries, you ought to have grasped at least 23 Chaos Laws. Why don't you show me your rank?"

A chilling voice cut through Li Hao’s observations.

Li Hao turned his head to find the hulking youth of the Chaos Red Demon Clan staring him down.

Di Lingshu’s face paled slightly. She instinctively moved to shield Li Hao, only to realize with a pang of irony that she was the one who needed protection. She was no match for this demon.

"Does that concern you in some way?" Li Hao replied coolly.

The Chaos Red Demon Clan youth narrowed his eyes, his brow arching. His massive, titan-like frame loomed over Li Hao, his crimson eyes flickering with a murderous light that seemed ready to explode.

While such a suffocating pressure would have paralyzed most, Li Hao remained perfectly still, his posture relaxed and unbothered.

Noticing that Li Hao wasn't the least bit shaken, the Chaos Red Demon youth slightly reined in his bloodlust. He made a silent assessment; the rumors were accurate—this Human Race youth was indeed a top-tier genius.

If the chance arises... I should slaughter him and devour his essence.

He let out a mocking snort and walked away without starting a fight.

With so many witnesses present, there was no reason to cause a scene yet, as their interests hadn't clashed. However, should they compete for the Heavenly Dao Power within the Endless Heavenly Domain, he would strike without mercy.

Once the demon had departed, Di Lingshu felt a cold perspiration drenching her back. Her complexion was ghostly. As a proud elite of the Emperor Clan and an Emperor’s Son who had been sent straight to the Primordial True Realm, this humiliation stung deeply.

Her expression turned dark as she balled her fists. She felt a burning resolve to seize every chance in the Endless Heavenly Domain to increase her Cultivation and settle this debt later!

Li Hao watched the retreating figure of the demon youth, a small frown appearing on his face. The encounter had served as a necessary reminder.

Since they were still stuck waiting, he decided to bolster his Chaos Dao. If a battle broke out the moment they entered the Chaos River, he wouldn't have another spare second.

He moved to a quiet corner, shifting his consciousness into his Sea of Consciousness to bring up his status panel.

"Add points."

Without a moment's hesitation, Li Hao funneled three skill points into the Sixth Stage of the Chaos Dao.

Instantly, a massive, overwhelming wave of Dao Realm enlightenment flooded his soul.

Countless Dao Thoughts coalesced, and his spirit seemed to drift back through the eons, arriving at the very dawn of the primordial Chaos World.
