Follow the path of Dao from infancy Chapter 1784 Chapter 461: My Heart Is the Heavenly Heart

Bang!

Following the explosive crack of space rupturing, space-time and karma got completely cut off in that instant. The sheer, intense Sword Intent sliced straight through the black-robed youth's form!

"Destiny Reversal!"

The black-robed youth's freshly divided body suddenly unleashed a horrifying force, trying to shift the injury via destiny's laws, but he discovered all nearby destinies had been broken. This Sword Intent went beyond what the Immortal Monarch Realm could endure, and despite drawing on various Great Dao Origin levels, he found no way to block or counter it.

Through the authority he wielded, he could already exceed a Domain Artifact on his own, yet this force shattered even a Domain Artifact. To put it simply, his personal might matched the Immortal King Realm's First Heaven in battle, but the young man facing him rivaled the Immortal King Realm Second Level!

His form burst apart, True God Blood spraying out, forming a blazing Sea of Divine Soul.

His awareness gathered within the Sea of Divine Soul, staring at the young man ahead in utter disbelief.

He had hit the peak of the Immortal Monarch Realm, with strength rivaling the Immortal King Realm, but the young man's command of Chaos Power proved even more fearsome.

"Is it the Dao Origin Immortal Emperor's legacy passed to you?"

He couldn't hold back from questioning.

If the Dao Origin Immortal Emperor had gone all out to pass it on, that would signal a plan to ruin his chances in this lifetime, but he shared no grudges with the Dao Origin Immortal Emperor, so it made no sense.

Hearing the question, Li Hao shook his head, then spoke deliberately, "You possess the power of the Three Immortal End Realm too, so even if you're killed here, it won't mean complete destruction."

The black-robed youth grasped Li Hao's implication right away. He eyed the young man shrouded in Chaos, feeling that his foe hadn't unleashed everything yet, while he held other tricks up his sleeve. Still, even going all out, he doubted he could turn the tide.

"I never imagined, after a hundred thousand years, I'd encounter a freak like you. Is it the buildup of ten thousand years of fortune in the True Realm? Or maybe the Heavenly Dao chose you personally."

He muttered, his gaze brimming with astonishment and resentment. He'd caught wind of the tales about Li Hao, but like everyone else, he'd dismissed them as long-built hype bursting out suddenly. Only now, witnessing Li Hao's soul essence, did he see the truth.

"The unstoppable tide can't be fought, fine then—if I actually beat you, I might not claim that Heavenly Heart regardless. Proceed, show me if you can ascend to Emperor and crush the Ancient Demon."

All his True God Blood pulled back, ending the clash with Li Hao as he withdrew from the fray.

Li Hao had no clue what ran through his mind, but with the opponent refusing to continue battling, he wasn't the type to slaughter without cause. He pulled back his energy at once, gave a nod, and pressed onward.

As Li Hao's figure moved toward the Emperor Road's summit, the black-robed youth let out a heavy sigh, realizing this lifetime meant walking his own Emperor Road anew.

"Who would've thought, running into this kid really marks my trial."

He whispered with a wry grin.

Abruptly, multiple presences rushed up from below. Glancing down, he spotted Chi Yuan and the rest closing in.

When Chi Yuan and the others reached the spot, spotting the black-robed youth, shock rippled through them—they hadn't anticipated anyone else up there except Li Hao.

"It's you, Black Venerable!"

Chi Yuan identified him as a genius from Green Emperor's Chaos City, shrouded in secrecy. A millennium back, he'd clashed with him to a stalemate, learning then that beyond Chaos and the Dao Origin Immortal Emperor's direct followers, other elite freaks existed.

The black-robed youth shot him a flat look, staying silent, and started reforming his body gradually.

Right then, the group noticed his wrecked condition, his body demolished, leaving just the Primordial Spirit.

Yet from his Primordial Spirit flowed a potent aura of True God Blood, thicker than any among them.

"Did you just battle Haotian?"

A Chaos Ancient Clan member blurted out, clearly taken aback.

Su Wanyi locked eyes on him too, sensing this youth outmatched her by far.

"Save your strength, that kid's beyond what you can deal with."

The black-robed youth replied coolly, his body now fully restored.

"Hmph, your failure doesn't mean ours."

Another Chaos Ancient Clan member huffed disdainfully, declaring it before charging forward in pursuit.

Hearing that, a chill flickered in the black-robed youth's eyes; he lifted his hand abruptly. Fearsome Chaos Infinite laws erupted from his palm, shaping a Whip of Destiny that whipped forward.

Bam!

The lash hit the Chaos Ancient Clan member square on, drawing a pained wince as his flesh tore open; he stared back in furious disbelief, pulling out a Domain Artifact: "You courting death?"

The black-robed youth eyed the Domain Artifact he held, smirked wordlessly, and kept swinging the whip to strike again.

Rage boiled in the Chaos Ancient Clan member, who activated the Domain Artifact. Instantly, overwhelming Realm Power surged out, rushing at the black-robed youth.

The black-robed youth stood firm, brandishing the Whip of Destiny with full force. Despite the Realm Power's shield, he cracked the Chaos Ancient Clan member's skull open.

"What?!"

The onlookers' eyes widened in alarm, staring at him in awe.

How could the black-robed youth, without using a Domain Artifact, harm a Chaos Ancient Clan member guarded by one?

"This, this is Chaos Infinite laws!"

"No, more than that!"

Every one there ranked as elite prodigies, swiftly spotting the black-robed youth's techniques, their faces unable to mask the astonishment.

The foe commanded numerous Ultimate Realm Powers, with Great Dao Origin grasped to profound depths, exceeding Immortal Monarch Realm bounds and even influencing Realm Power!

"You think you're fit to talk down to me?"

The black-robed youth's stare turned frosty, gazing down at the Chaos Ancient Clan member with disdain.
