Follow the path of Dao from infancy Chapter 1756 Chapter 449: Sweeping Across the Eight Domains (Part 3)

"We've only just arrived ourselves," the youth from the Chaos Red Demon Clan replied, his voice heavy and resonant.

"Have you laid eyes on that Human?" The white-haired woman's brow furrowed as she scrutinized them. After a thorough inspection, she confirmed that the aura of Heavenly Dao Power was indeed absent from their bodies.

"No. There isn't a single Chaos Dao Beast left across these nine territories; that brat cleared every last one of them!" One of the cultivators from the Chaos Ancient Clan spoke through clenched teeth, his words dripping with venom as he tried to shift her suspicion toward Li Hao.

Since these Chaos Dao Beasts were technically a shared resource for all, the notion that a single youth had swept through an entire First Heaven alone was nothing short of infuriating.

The white-haired woman’s frown deepened at this unexpected news. Her original plan involved tempering her Cultivation in the Eighth Layer of the Heavenly Domain before ascending to the Ninth. Her father had cautioned her to remain vigilant, even with her talent; thus, she had intended to gauge the strength of the Chaos Dao Seeds here first.

"Hmph. For your sake, I hope you aren't spinning lies." With a cold snort, she turned abruptly, her figure vanishing from the area in a single stride.

"Curse it all! We nearly took the fall for that kid's rampage!" A member of the Chaos Ancient Clan, distinguished by his black wings, nearly erupted in a fit of rage. It was absurd; they had almost been framed as the culprits.

"Move quickly. We must reach the Ninth-layer immediately, or I fear there will be nothing left for us to claim there either." The youth from the Chaos Red Demon Clan spoke with grim urgency. He noted that the monstrous genius from the Ancient Immortal Clan was also approaching. Previously holding the fourth rank on the Chaos Heavenly Dao List, she was a peerless figure of this generation, especially since those ranked above her had already broken through to the Quasi-Emperor Realm.

Their objective was the Ninth-layer, and any further delay would likely mean missing out on the final competition.

The remaining three shared a look of grave concern and wasted no more time, rushing toward the deepest reaches of the Endless Heavenly Domain.

Meanwhile, more figures began to populate the Eighth Layer. However, instead of the chaotic battles they anticipated, they were met with an eerie, deathly silence.

"Where is everyone? Where did the crowds go?"

"And the Chaos Dao Beasts? Have they all vanished?"

When Luo Ningshuang, Su Wanyi, and their companions arrived, they scanned the horizon, their expressions masked in bewilderment. After scouting several regions and finding neither beasts nor rivals, they realized something was profoundly wrong and hurried toward the Ninth-layer.

The Ninth-layer.

This realm sat at the absolute heart of the Endless Heavenly Domain, consisting of a solitary, massive continent suspended in the void.

"So, this is the Ninth-layer!" A ripple appeared in space as the white-haired woman manifested.

"Miss, the pressure in this realm is overwhelming. Despite my Primordial Spirit Golden Bone being tempered with a thousand tendons, my Divine Sense is restricted to the same range as my physical sight!" The girl holding the umbrella spoke, her face etched with shock.

Such a revelation would have stunned the world; a servant possessing over a thousand golden bones in her Primordial Spirit was a top-tier genius in her own right, yet she served another with total humility.

"Even with a hundred drops of True God Blood refined within me, my vision is limited to a hundred miles. It is only natural you struggle," the white-haired woman remarked, her gaze sharp.

Casting her Divine Sense across the terrain, she soon spotted a nearby lake. To her surprise, three Chaos Dao Seeds were swimming there, appearing much like a small family. A massive creature, resembling a Dragon Demon, rested quietly on the lake floor, while two smaller ones played near the surface.

Sensing her gaze, the two playful Chaos Dao Beasts stopped and turned their eyes toward her.

"This is the primary entry point from the Eighth-layer. Since there are still Chaos Dao Beasts here, it seems that Human didn't arrive at this location. Perhaps he is deeper inside?" The white-haired woman felt a flicker of relief. Fortunately, the treasures of the Ninth-layer remained untouched. Had they been gone, she would have been forced to hunt down that Human and tear the Heavenly Dao Power directly from his body.

Without pausing, she stepped out, hovering directly over the water.

However, as she took her position, her face paled. The atmospheric pressure was staggering, and the three Chaos Dao Seeds she had been watching suddenly radiated a bone-chilling, murderous aura.

Are these truly the Chaos Dao Seeds of the Ninth-layer?!
