Follow the path of Dao from infancy Chapter 1767 Chapter 452: Tai Cang Ancestor Skill, Emerging to Reap

Descending with sudden force, Li Hao’s boots slammed onto the head of a Chaos Dao Seed. An arc of Sword Qi erupted in an instant, cleaving through the creature’s form and slicing it clean in half.

"Destiny Sword Kill!"

Li Hao struck with lethal precision. He intended to finish this quickly so he could return to his meditation on the chess game.

Though split in two, the Chaos Dao Seed howled, refusing to die. It revealed a monstrous, suction-cup-like maw and lunged at Li Hao in a desperate attempt to bite him.

With a casual wave of his hand, Li Hao unleashed hundreds of strands of Sword Qi. The creature’s body was shredded into countless fragments, ending its life immediately.

After harvesting the Heavenly Dao Power from the remains, Li Hao turned his attention toward his next target.

Through this relentless hunting, the amount of Heavenly Dao Power Li Hao accumulated grew steadily.

"Huh?"

Suddenly, Li Hao’s Divine Sense swept across the area, detecting two figures trapped within a mountain valley. They were surrounded by five Chaos Dao Seeds that had occupied every direction, sealing the valley floor. Another Chaos Dao Seed circled above, completing the encirclement from the sky.

...

"How can there be so many of them?"

Luo Ningshuang’s complexion was pale. Earlier, they had managed to slay two Chaos Dao Seeds, but one had unexpectedly self-detonated, creating a massive disturbance. Although they had fled immediately, five more Chaos Dao Seeds had ambushed them at their resting place before they could get far.

It was a mystery how these creatures were tracking them. Despite their best efforts to mask their auras and hide their tracks, they remained pursued.

"If there is no other way, we must deploy a Domain Artifact!"

Su Wanyi’s expression was equally grim as she felt the heavy shadow of death closing in. Without the protection of a Domain Artifact, they would be trapped in a hopeless situation.

The Ninth-layer Heavenly Domain was truly a treacherous land of life and death. Had they not possessed Domain Artifacts, they would have retreated ten days ago; after all, even the most gifted geniuses value their own lives.

"Which one should we use? One is enough to ensure our survival, but if we want to wipe them all out, we might need a second one!"

Luo Ningshuang clenched her teeth. They only possessed three Domain Artifacts in total, and these needed to be saved for the Heavenly Ascension Road, where the struggle would be even more brutal. Wasting one now would severely limit their future options.

"It isn't worth wasting a Domain Artifact just to kill them; surviving is what matters most."

Su Wanyi spoke rapidly, "Once we break free, we can hunt down isolated targets and kill them one by one. Using a Domain Artifact on this group is simply too extravagant."

Nodding in quick agreement, Luo Ningshuang said, "Then..."

"Let me handle it."

Noticing her companion's hesitation, Su Wanyi spoke with resolve. "If we run into more trouble later, we will use yours. If not, you can protect me on the Heavenly Ascension Road, or consider this a trade for the Heavenly Dao Power of ten Chaos Dao Seeds."

"We will see what dangers lie ahead. On the Heavenly Ascension Road, I will use one to shield us both and share its power," Luo Ningshuang replied quickly.

Su Wanyi stopped hesitating. Given the life-threatening urgency, she wasn't worried about Luo Ningshuang breaking her word. Without further talk, she pulled out a Domain Artifact. Just as she was about to release its seal, a whistling streak of sword light arrived.

Bang!

A scarlet sword light tore through the air, instantly impaling the head of the Chaos Dao Seed hovering in the sky. It pierced through the creature as easily as if it were smashing through mud.

Blood sprayed in every direction. The scarlet light curved mid-air and struck again, hacking the Chaos Dao Seed into dozens of pieces and killing it on the spot.

This display left Su Wanyi and Luo Ningshuang stunned. They looked up in utter disbelief.

That scarlet flash was Sword Qi, and it radiated a truly terrifying power.

Startled by the scene, the remaining four Chaos Dao Seeds roared. However, the scarlet sword light did not fade; it pivoted and charged toward the creature guarding the eastern side.

At that same moment, a figure stepped out from a ripple in the void, emerging from the Returning Ruins. Li Hao stood atop the remains of the fallen Chaos Dao Seed, reaching out to grab the floating Heavenly Dao Power.

When they recognized Li Hao, Luo Ningshuang and Su Wanyi were struck with shock, their eyes narrowing in pure amazement.

This sudden arrival—could it really be Haotian of the Human Race?

"Is it truly him? How can this be!"

Luo Ningshuang found the reality hard to process.

The strongest of the five Chaos Dao Seeds had been slaughtered in an instant, and its Heavenly Dao Power had been harvested right before their eyes!

Su Wanyi was also dazed; this was her first time seeing the young man in action, and the sight was nothing short of breathtaking.

Suddenly, the furious roars of the monsters snapped the two women back to their senses.

The scarlet sword light lunged eastward. The Chaos Dao Seed attempted to defend itself, conjuring a dark barrier, but the scarlet Sword Qi pierced through it effortlessly. Its body was split wide, organs scattering across the ground.

The remaining three Chaos Dao Seeds bellowed in fury, but in the next heartbeat, they turned to flee.

Despite having the numbers, they sensed an overwhelming aura of death coming from the young man. He was far too dangerous.

Furthermore, with two of their pack already dead, the presence of the young man alongside the two women meant their numerical edge had vanished. They had no choice but to run.

"Huh?"

Li Hao arched an eyebrow, surprised that the three Chaos Dao Seeds were retreating so decisively. He suddenly surged with immortal power, and his Destiny Sword Qi split into three separate streaks, pursuing the targets in three different directions at once.

Born of causality and moving beyond the constraints of time, the attacks became three red beams. Like falling meteors, they slammed down from the heavens, pinning the three fleeing Chaos Dao Seeds firmly to the earth.
