Follow the path of Dao from infancy Chapter 1751 Chapter 447: Chaos Dao Beast 2

"Protect yourself with the domain artifact if it becomes necessary."

Li Hao spoke as he gently set Di Lingshu down. Although her personal Chaos Law Power allowed her to traverse the Chaos River, her movement remained sluggish.

They had reached the exit at the riverbank. Stepping out first, Li Hao feigned ignorance and charged straight toward the hidden position of the four beasts, all while his internal energy gathered in silence.

Boom!

As Li Hao drew near, the four creatures suddenly erupted with a violent assault that seemed intent on shattering the heavens. Four immense forces of Chaos Law bore down on him, manifesting as towering peaks and turbulent floods to trap him.

"Break!"

Sensing the incoming pressure, a flash of surprise crossed Li Hao's eyes, yet his hands didn't hesitate. Twenty-four strands of Sword Intent, refined from Chaos Law, merged into a brilliant white sword light that sliced through the stars as it struck out.

Boom!

The flashing blade severed the threads of Chaos Law Power instantly. With its power barely diminished, the strike continued its trajectory toward one of the Chaos Dao Beasts.

"How is this possible?!"

The Chaos Dao Beast looked on in shock, trying desperately to evade. However, the Chaos Infinite Sword Intent slammed into its forehead, causing its body to split apart as it let out a pained wail.

It survived the initial blow, screaming as it fled into the distance.

"What is wrong with this Human? We are nine-layer Beast Kings, yet we cannot even take a single strike from him!"

Panicked and filled with disbelief, the Chaos Dao Beast scrambled away.

Li Hao was also surprised, knowing the sheer power behind that sword. It was dozens of times more potent than the fusion of twenty-three Chaos Laws; that final strand had been a gateway to the heavens. Though it was only one additional strand, it was the Destiny Law, which brought the Chaos Law to perfection.

Even so, such a devastating strike had failed to kill the beast instantly.

"Destiny Sword Kill!"

Li Hao raised his arm, releasing several flying swords that tracked the target along a fixed path of fate.

Through the strike of destiny and the force of causation, the Chaos Dao Beast’s body suddenly exploded in the distance. The Sword Qi struck from the realm of fate, ending its life.

As the Chaos Dao Beast fell, a vast and majestic aura filled the emptiness. Li Hao recognized this sensation; it was the same aura he had tasted in the wine provided by Su Jiuzhe—it was Heavenly Dao Power!

Kill!

Li Hao’s eyes gleamed as he unleashed a terrifying surge of power. Standing at the pinnacle of the Perfect Immortal Monarch Realm with his Heaven and Earth Immortal Body, the strength he radiated seemed to make the sun and moon tremble.

Boom boom boom!

The remaining three Chaos Dao Beasts roared, attempting a joint suppression of Li Hao. Instead, their forms were sliced apart by the Chaos Infinite Sword Intent. Their Dao Seeds were pierced, and they were slain in an instant.

With the four Chaos Dao Beasts dead, Li Hao waved his hand to pull their remains into his Heaven and Earth Space before gathering the remnants of Heavenly Dao Power floating in the void.

This silver-white energy rotated and bloomed like a mysterious light, radiating a supreme presence.

This aura shared similarities with an Immortal Emperor, yet it felt even more daunting.

"Is this the power of the Heavenly Dao?"

Di Lingshu emerged from the Chaos River and flew to Li Hao's side.

She was stunned to see him dispatch four fierce beasts so quickly. The terrifying Chaos aura within the Sword Intent Li Hao had just used made her heart race even from a distance, feeling as though the mere sight of it might shred her vision.

Li Hao nodded and stored the four units of Heavenly Dao Power. He turned to Di Lingshu and said, "I will keep these for now. We will hunt together from here on. If you locate the Chaos Dao Beasts, I will assist you in the kill. Whoever finds them gets the prize."

Upon hearing this, Di Lingshu waved her hands dismissively, "Little junior brother, you are being far too kind. You should keep these. If I find one and you help me kill it, I will give you half."

Even though the fight had been brief and she hadn't helped, she could see how formidable these Chaos Dao Beasts were. Had she faced one alone, she would have been in grave danger.

In her estimation, only someone who had fused more than twenty Chaos Laws was fit to challenge these beasts one-on-one.

"We will do it my way," Li Hao said, shaking his head at her counter-offer.

Rather than taking advantage of her, he preferred to focus on increasing their total hunt.

As he spoke, Li Hao began to absorb the four portions of Heavenly Dao Power.

The energy entered his body but refused to be tamed, settling into a corner of his great meridian just like the power he had absorbed previously.

Li Hao understood that as an Immortal Monarch, he could not yet command Heavenly Dao Power; he could only collect and store it for the future.

When he had pushed his Chaos Dao to the Sixth Stage earlier, his attempts to progress further confirmed that Heavenly Dao Power was the required catalyst.

"The total Heavenly Dao Power from these four combined doesn't even match the few cups of wine Senior Su Jiuzhe gave me back then."

After sensing the energy, Li Hao realized this amount was nowhere near enough to reach the Seventh Stage.

"Hmm?"

Suddenly, Li Hao noticed the corpses of the Chaos Dao Beasts within his Heaven and Earth Space were beginning to break down.

Like a sand castle losing its form, they were dissolving back into pure Chaos Power.

"It appears these Chaos Dao Beasts are held together by Heavenly Dao Power," Li Hao mused. He had considered cooking the remains to test their flavor, but that now seemed impossible.

He gave a small shake of his head and told Lingshu, "Let us move on."

Lingshu nodded, her fear still lingering. "Those four Chaos Dao Beasts were incredibly cunning to lie in wait here. Anyone less observant who stumbled upon them would have been badly hurt."

Li Hao gave a slight nod. Those four were certainly not weak. He suspected that even someone with twenty-three fused Chaos Laws might struggle to kill them, and would likely be overwhelmed if the beasts worked together.

Without pausing, Li Hao guided Lingshu toward the Endless Heavenly Domain.

"Master mentioned that the Endless Heavenly Domain is composed of nine layers. We should be on the first, outermost level right now."

The two of them reached a nearby stretch of land.

This region was filled with massive trees, while exotic flowers and legendary herbs grew everywhere. In the center of a large lake, a massive silhouette lay resting.

Feeling Li Hao’s gaze, the Chaos Dao Beast in the lake opened its eyes, instantly projecting a murderous, bloodthirsty intent.

"Look at all these Divine Medicines!"

Lingshu cried out in wonder.

Having been raised in the Emperor Clan, she was accustomed to rare treasures, yet she could identify dozens of rare Divine Medicines in this single area!

"These medicines are ancient!"

She was shocked, realizing that harvesting these plants could easily produce two or three top-tier geniuses.

"There are many Chaos Dao Beasts here," Li Hao observed.

Beyond the one in the lake, he spotted others hiding in the nearby woods and within a mountain cavern.

However, these beasts felt significantly weaker than the four they had encountered at the river's edge.

"I want to try my hand at this," Lingshu said. Sensing their weaker auras, she felt confident enough to attempt a battle.

Li Hao didn't block her path, moving off with his sword to deal with the other creatures.

Lingshu dashed toward the closest Chaos Dao Beast and was soon locked in a fierce struggle.

As they fought, several shadows began to emerge from the distant Chaos Riverbank.

"We have finally arrived."

"Is this truly the Endless Heavenly Domain?"

A group of figures approached, consisting of Chi Phong and other members of the Chaos Ancient Clan.

They had been chasing Li Hao relentlessly but had never managed to catch a glimpse of him. Now at the end of the Chaos River, with no sign of the youth, it was clear he had entered the domain before them.

"Wait. There are signs of a struggle here," one member noted, his multi-pupilled eyes squinting. Each of his eyes contained four pupils that scanned the void beyond the river.

"Has he already located a Chaos Dao Beast?"

Hearing this, Chi Phong and the others grew even more impatient.

A Chaos Dao Beast was a literal vessel of Heavenly Dao Power!

Without further discussion, they all bolted forward. All thoughts of cooperation vanished as they prioritized their own gains.

As the others rushed off, the multi-pupilled member of the Chaos Ancient Clan stayed behind, his brow furrowed.

"These traces of battle... they seem strange. Did my eyes deceive me?"
