"Such speed!"
"How can he move so fast?"
The four of them were struck by disbelief. Despite pushing themselves toward their maximum limits, they had been left in the dust in an instant.
"Is that a specialized movement technique, or is it the Chaos Law? Is it possible the Chaos Law he chose to refine is primarily focused on agility?"
While they speculated internally, such velocity filled them with a sense of startled apprehension.
If Li Hao was capable of unleashing this level of power during a fight, he would be able to engage and retreat at will, making him an incredibly troublesome opponent.
"These members of the Human Race are certainly skilled at running away!"
Chi Pong’s expression was dark. He had intended to gauge the human boy’s abilities within this Chaos River, but the youth hadn't even considered fighting them. It was possible their approach was too loud, startling the snake and driving their target away.
"It doesn't matter. Once we arrive at the Endless Heavenly Domain, we are bound to cross paths with him sooner or later."
A member of the Chaos Ancient Clan spoke in a low voice. He possessed a burly frame, black wings sprout from his back, and his face was masked by purple scales.
"Agreed."
They fell silent, each of them increasing their pace as they paddled against the current.
The pursuit of Li Hao by the Chaos Ancient Clan members had naturally drawn the gaze of others traveling the Chaos River. When observers saw Li Hao leave the four behind without effort, they were secretly stunned. After all, these four from the Original Land were no ordinary cultivators.
"The Haotian you spoke of is indeed quite exceptional."
Luo Ningshuang and Lin Zhexuan were also surging forward atop the waves. Initially, she had planned to overtake the young man, but after witnessing him instantly distance himself from the four Chaos Ancient Clan members, a flicker of surprise appeared in her eyes. She spoke to Lin Zhexuan beside her in a composed tone.
Hearing her words, Lin Zhexuan felt a wave of unease. He was well aware of the boy's strength, but he hadn't anticipated he would be so brilliant as to earn the praise of Senior Sister Nine.
"Let’s go, we need to move faster."
Luo Ningshuang pushed herself further, accelerating once more to catch up with the group from the Chaos Ancient Clan.
In a heartbeat, the riverbanks vanished from sight as they plunged deep into the horizon.
As the surges of the Chaos River crashed down, the corrosive Chaotic Power lashed out. Numerous figures riding the waves utilized their own unique techniques to repel the energy, steadily advancing forward.
...
"It looks like we’ve taken the lead."
After his burst of speed, Li Hao had passed three silhouettes, leaving them so far behind they were no longer visible. Only after galloping forward for another ten minutes without seeing a soul did he realize they were likely at the front of the pack.
"It seems so."
Di Lingshu gave a self-deprecating smile, feeling somewhat numb to Li Hao’s shocking displays. Her master had once claimed that within a thousand years, her Little Junior Brother would surpass her... it seemed the master had indeed held her in very high regard.
As a member of the Emperor Clan, she had encountered countless geniuses, yet none were as logic-defying as Li Hao.
"Should we go our separate ways once we reach the Endless Heavenly Domain?"
Di Lingshu asked suddenly.
Li Hao turned to her, looking confused. "Separate? For what reason?"
"I am concerned that I will only hold you back," Di Lingshu admitted. "Given your movement speed, you would definitely be much faster if you weren't being slowed down by me."
"Why does being fast matter so much?"
Li Hao shook his head without a second thought. "Traveling slower allows one to see the scenery. If those people hadn't been chasing us, I wouldn't have bothered speeding up... When we arrive at the Endless Heavenly Domain, we will stay together to watch each other's backs. If something happened to you, I wouldn't be able to face Master."
Di Lingshu was stunned. Looking at the boy’s relaxed expression, she realized he genuinely meant what he said.
Within the Endless Heavenly Domain, every opportunity is incredibly precious, yet he was willing to let her slow him down.
"Little Junior Brother, why don't you join our Emperor Clan?"
Di Lingshu spoke softly. She watched Li Hao closely; she had previously questioned their master and learned that Li Hao did not come from a prominent clan. In fact, his bloodline was quite ordinary and couldn't compare to the Hundred Races of the True Realm. Despite this, he had ascended step by step to stand among the elite geniuses.
"Hmm?" Li Hao looked at her, blinking in confusion.
Di Lingshu’s face turned slightly red. "You lack a powerful clan to support you. If you joined my Emperor Clan, you would certainly be held in high esteem."
Li Hao shook his head. "If I have no great clan, then I shall simply establish one myself. I am grateful for Senior Sister’s kindness, though."
Seeing his refusal, Di Lingshu wasn't entirely surprised. A person like Li Hao would never be content living under the shadow of another.
Before long, as Li Hao continued his sprint, a vast, pitch-black void suddenly emerged beyond the churning Chaotic Power.
Upon seeing this, both Li Hao and Di Lingshu felt a simultaneous shiver. They had made it!
Was this truly the Endless Heavenly Domain?
Di Lingshu had never visited this place, but she had heard descriptions from her master. Now, staring into the distance, she could see countless points of light scattered throughout the black void; these were the remnants of broken continents, drifting in the air.
Looking at the scene, Li Hao was reminded of the All Heavens and the Thirty-three Heavens—thirty-three massive lands—which were similar to the sight before him.
However, the Endless Heavenly Domain was comprised of far more than just thirty-three continents.
"Hmm?"
While Li Hao was observing the view, he suddenly detected a sense of extreme danger.
His eyes narrowed as he condensed the Chaos Law within his pupils. The darkness ahead seemed to peel away, exposing four massive, hideous silhouettes lurking at the edge of the Chaos River. Some possessed bodies like giant pythons covered in jagged spikes, while others resembled a terrifying fusion of a massive turtle and a ferocious lion.
They were lying in wait by the river, their presence perfectly hidden with no aura leaking out.
"Stay alert," Li Hao warned in a heavy voice.
"What is it?"
Di Lingshu noticed the change in Li Hao’s demeanor and her heart sank with a bad feeling. She scanned the area but saw nothing. Consequently, she circulated her bloodline and activated the Emperor’s Eyes, using the power of the Ancestor’s Eyes to look ahead.
Finally, the four concealed monsters came into view.
"Are those... Chaos Dao Beasts?"
Di Lingshu was shocked. She hadn't expected four Chaos Dao Beasts to be lying in ambush at this location.
