Follow the path of Dao from infancy Chapter 1749 Chapter 446: A Glimpse of Destiny, Chaos Infinite_2
Previously on Follow the path of Dao from infancy...
"It’s freezing!"
Di Lingshu felt a bone-chilling cold permeate her entire being. Even with Li Hao's protective power wrapping around her, the frigid sensation persisted, making her heart tremble in secret.
At this moment, the Chaos River felt dangerous even to someone like her, who had already refined ten Chaos Laws.
However, in the following instant, an immense force suddenly stirred the waters of the Chaos River before her.
She watched as Li Hao grabbed her hand, swiftly riding the crest of the waves forward.
While others struggled through the turbulent Chaos River, Li Hao moved with incredible speed, literally treading upon the waves.
This sight drew the gaze of many on the shore platform, prompting cries of disbelief.
"That person is incredibly fast!"
"Isn't that Haotian of the Human Race? The one who rose to fame three hundred years ago?"
"It is definitely him. I witnessed his challenge at the Chaos Dojo."
"To tread the waves while carrying another person... that is simply absurd!"
"It appears the rumors of him refining 23 Chaos Laws are true."
Many onlookers were stunned and filled with envy. However, their jealousy was tempered by a sense of helplessness; the disparity in power was simply too vast.
"Hmph!"
Within the Chaos River, several figures suddenly vaulted upward, likewise treading upon the water.
Members of the Chaos Red Demon Clan watched Li Hao’s galloping form with cold eyes, realizing the rumors hadn't been exaggerated. Without hesitation, they plunged into the Chaos River, pursuing Li Hao by similarly treading the waves at high speed.
"Hmm?"
Elsewhere, the exclamations from the shore reached Luo Ningshuang. As her Divine Sense detected Li Hao approaching rapidly across the water, her expression shifted slightly. She had intended to remain inconspicuous while helping Lin Zhexuan swim upstream, but that plan now seemed pointless.
She suddenly hoisted Lin Zhexuan and began treading the waves herself, sprinting forward at full tilt.
"Let us depart."
On the shore platform, a woman as white as snow watched the scene with an indifferent expression. She took a young girl from her clan and leaped into the Chaos River.
Her movements were exquisite; every step landed perfectly on a wave's crest. She crossed the water like a fairy, displaying extreme elegance.
"Brother Haotian is indeed far beyond us."
Many of Li Hao's acquaintances on the shore watched with envious eyes. Some felt genuine joy for him, while others harbored secret resentment.
Meanwhile, at the heart of the chaos sea.
Inside the Imperial Palace on the majestic island.
A towering figure sitting silently in the main hall suddenly opened his eyes. His pupils seemed to contain the sun and moon, piercing through the fabric of space-time with an intimidating majesty.
But now, the eyes of the Chaos Immortal Emperor were filled with shock.
The Chaos Heavenly Dao Chart had just undergone a massive transformation.
A certain rank had surged upward, unexpectedly seizing the number one position on the Chaos Heavenly Dao Chart!
Furthermore, the final tally revealed that this individual had refined 24 Chaos Laws!
With Destiny hidden and the Heavenly Dao incomplete, someone in this era had actually mastered 24 Chaos Laws!
"Haotian? A disciple of Dao Origin? How can this be?!"
"Could Dao Origin have hidden and passed down a practice for Destiny? No, that is impossible. Even if Dao Origin practiced Destiny, he could not manifest it into reality or comprehend it so deeply."
The Chaos Immortal Emperor’s eyes betrayed his surprise. While he had been impressed by the young man before, the youth had now exceeded all expectations.
"It seems Dao Origin has been hiding some impressive secrets."
He pondered this, and immediately, a clone split off from him to visit the Extreme Dao Mountain.
At the same time, inside the hall of the Extreme Dao Mountain, the Dao Origin Immortal Emperor sat in a daze, forgetting to play the chess piece in his hand.
When the piece finally fell, he snapped back to reality, froze for a second, and then broke into a smile.
That brat was hiding things quite deeply!
After showing no change for two centuries, he suddenly claims the top spot. Is he trying to guard against the other Immortal Emperors?
He laughed, feeling no annoyance, but rather a growing fondness for his disciple.
"Heavenly Calamity, you truly possess great destiny to have taken such a fine disciple!"
Dao Origin Immortal Emperor murmured.
If these words were made public, they would surely cause many jaws to drop.
Throughout history, it was said that disciples who studied under an Immortal Emperor had gained world-class fortune. Never had an Immortal Emperor claimed that receiving a disciple was their own good fortune; it was a total reversal of the natural order.
"He actually comprehended the hidden Destiny... it seems this youth carries a world-class secret. Fortunately, he is of upright character and good nature. He will be a blessing for the Human Race's future..."
A smile graced the face of the Dao Origin Immortal Emperor. Suddenly, he felt two powerful auras nearing Extreme Dao Mountain, with trails of destiny power extending toward him.
He understood at once; his two old friends had been alerted.
One was Chaos, and the other was Original.
"They are coming to 'interrogate the teacher,' I see. This kid has brought me quite a bit of trouble; I must take this burden upon myself, otherwise..."
Dao Origin Immortal Emperor thought to himself.
If they discovered the youth had comprehended the Destiny Chaos Laws through some other fortune, it would bring the boy immense trouble, perhaps even disaster.
Thus, he had to pretend he was aware of it and that he was the one who imparted the knowledge.
As for the method of instruction—they would simply have to stay out of it.
...
In the Chaos River, figures were racing to cross, all treading the waves at the front of the pack.
Traveling across the surface of the Chaos River was significantly faster than swimming against the current.
"Chi Pong, that Human Race brat seems far too arrogant. Are you interested in crushing him here?"
A youth from the Chaos Red Demon Clan was chasing Li Hao when a voice suddenly echoed in his mind.
It was a handsome middle-aged man in golden immortal robes, standing two zhang tall with golden scales and a single horn, approaching quickly.
He was a fellow disciple from the Original Land, a senior brother.
"He is indeed."
The Chaos Red Demon Clan youth looked ahead at the figure carrying another person while treading the waves so effortlessly, his gaze growing more serious.
"Let’s test him first and see if others have the same idea."
The middle-aged man suggested, not wanting to rely solely on the two of them. After all, many in the Chaos Ancient Clan held a grudge against the Human Race.
He immediately sent transmissions to several other Chaos Ancient Clan members from the Chaos Immortal City.
Two responded quickly, expressing their willingness to try.
"Join forces?"
The snow-white woman received the golden-scaled man's message, glanced at him, and didn't bother to reply.
She was interested in testing the Human youth’s abilities, but she found the idea of teaming up with others beneath her. Even among the Chaos Ancient Clan... while others looked down on humans, she looked down on all races, including her own kind.
"Hmm?"
Galloping in the lead, Li Hao suddenly heard the roar of waves behind him. His Divine Sense swept out, revealing several Chaos Ancient Clan figures closing in.
Di Lingshu noticed them as well, her expression turning pale. She asked, "Are they targeting us?"
"It’s possible."
Li Hao replied. He didn't sense any immediate killing intent yet, though the Chaos Red Demon Clan youth made him wary. He immediately increased his speed; he had no desire to socialize and simply wanted to move forward.
"Hmm?"
Chi Pong and the others, who were pursuing at full speed, were stunned to see Li Hao suddenly accelerate. They exchanged looks of surprise.
They had pushed themselves to the limit, hiding their killing intent to get close before striking, but the youth could still go faster?!
To carry someone through the Chaos River and still outpace them was truly exaggerated.
"What is wrong with that Human? He's truly monstrous!"
A woman in a purple dress said, her eyes wide with shock.
She was ranked in the top twenty of the Chaos Heavenly Dao Chart and had refined 23 Chaos Laws, yet she couldn't catch him.
"Keep up the pursuit!"
Chi Pong’s face darkened as he sent the command.
The four of them accelerated further, desperate to catch Li Hao.
"They are gaining on us again."
Di Lingshu noted.
Li Hao glanced back, finished with this pursuit. A mysterious light flashed in his eyes, and the Chaos River seemed to transform into a path of Heavenly Dao Chaos Power before him. His form flickered, and pulling Di Lingshu with him, he vanished in an instant, as if by teleportation.
Witnessing this, the four pursuers felt their pupils shrink, completely overwhelmed by shock.
