Follow the path of Dao from infancy Chapter 1796 Chapter 467: King's Domain Realm

"Ancestor Emperor Power? Original Demon Cave?"

Li Hao felt a jolt of surprise, as these concepts were entirely unfamiliar to him.

Standing next to Li Hao, Shi Miao leaned in and murmured, "The Ancestor Emperor Power represents a rare ability that those with the Emperor bloodline can awaken when they reach the Immortal King Realm. Only someone at the Immortal King Realm can barely endure and control this force. It holds the Ancestor seal power from the Emperor blood, making it utterly fearsome. When activated, it can match the might of the top King's Domain in the Immortal King Realm!"

"King's Domain?"

Confusion washed over Li Hao; this was yet another term he'd never encountered.

Shi Miao showed great patience toward Li Hao, aware that he had only recently stepped into the Immortal King Realm and remained unaware of numerous common knowledge. This differed from other Immortal Kings, who had spent ages in cultivation, wandering far and wide during idle moments, and thus possessed deep insights into diverse matters.

"The King's Domain stands as the supreme domain in the Immortal King Realm!"

Shi Miao explained to Li Hao, "When I spoke of the Superior World Heart before, know that all world hearts derived from the Nine Orders—including your Reverse Time World Heart—fall under the Superior World Heart category!"

"A Superior World Heart has to be one-of-a-kind, perfectly in harmony with the heavens!"

"World hearts like Reverse Time, Super Realm, and others are grouped as Superior, granting the ability to defy heaven and earth, which marks them as elite among world hearts!"

"Yet, beyond these elite world hearts lies something even more dreadful, something scarce and almost mythical! Should such a world heart emerge, it reigns as the sovereign path of heavens and earth, able to dominate all paths and crush countless others. Called the True King, it can wipe out Superior World Hearts with ease. Forming it relies wholly on chance."

Li Hao stood dumbfounded, shocked that a world heart so horrifying could exist—one capable of casually destroying Superior World Hearts. Wouldn't that mean it could easily shatter his Formless and Reverse Time as well?

"So, does your world heart count as the King's Domain?"

Li Hao couldn't resist glancing at Shi Miao.

Noticing Li Hao's look, Shi Miao's lips formed a faint smile as she answered, "Of course."

Li Hao's heart raced, struck once more by Shi Miao's exceptional gifts.

"Though the King's Domain appears infrequently, it does exist for real. In my master's time, I alone among his students formed the King's Domain, and it happened right at the brink of that massive conflict, allowing me to rise to the Quasi-Emperor Realm and even surpass the Tenth Layer Time Origin Realm, thus surviving the disaster."

Shi Miao spoke in a gentle whisper.

The Dao Origin Immortal Emperor stayed quiet, simply overhearing Shi Miao's words to Li Hao, his eyes fixed on the young woman. A flicker of life's trials crossed his gaze; the time monarch famous throughout the Four Domains over ten thousand years back had been among the Seven Kings of that age!

This title of monarch belonged solely to her, unbeatable in the Immortal King Realm, invincible against peers, all thanks to forging the King's Domain!

In truth, across the vast True Realm—even including the Primordial True Realm—in that period, just seven individuals had forged the King's Domain!

Remember, during the height of that era, the true disciples serving under various Immortal Emperors far outnumbered today's numbers, but the Seven Kings' presence highlighted how, among the carefully groomed hordes of direct disciples for certain Immortal Emperors, none had emerged!

"What exactly is the King's Domain you've forged?"

Li Hao pressed on, curiosity overwhelming him; he struggled to picture what sort of world heart could so easily overpower his Reverse Time World Heart.

This question bordered on rudeness, delving into private secrets, but Shi Miao showed no irritation at Li Hao's probing. Instead, she shot a look at the Dao Origin Immortal Emperor before sending her thoughts directly to Li Hao:

"Eternal Time Sequence! That's the essence of my world heart. Be it Reverse Time or Chaos, in the face of my world heart, everything freezes forever—nothing under the sky can resist the eternal!"

Observing her demeanor, the Dao Origin Immortal Emperor burst into laughter; this young one was certainly holding nothing back in her wariness toward him.

"Eternal Time Sequence..."

Li Hao repeated softly, sensing a chilling idea; he began to dimly understand the King's Domain's strength.

"Back then, I combined several peak world hearts tied to space-time and merged them, ultimately birthing my King's Domain!"

Shi Miao eyed the Dao Origin Immortal Emperor, but this time she spoke openly without mental transmission, stating calmly, "That's why, when you formed two world hearts earlier, blending them might not have immediately created a King's Domain, but it would have boosted your power noticeably and brought you nearer to achieving one."

"Does that mean cultivating the King's Domain involves gathering various peak world hearts and fusing them together?"

Li Hao inquired.

Shi Miao gave a nod, "That's the route I took, and I think it's the sole way; you can't just form a King's Domain out of nowhere."

"In that case, keeping my two world hearts apart earlier might not have been ideal?" Li Hao remarked.

Shi Miao shook her head, "I sense your realm's power far exceeds that of a mere peak world heart. Merging them would strengthen your world heart, true, but the gain wouldn't match the full extent of what you get from two separate ones now. Think of it this way: fusing would add half again your power, but keeping them distinct doubles it outright!"

"Besides, the direction you're heading in is totally uncharted; if you manage to sustain multiple world hearts side by side, it could stand equal to the King's Domain!"

Shi Miao emphasized intently, "The scariest aspect is this: after you blaze this trail of coexisting multiple world hearts on the Emperor Road, you'll gain the choice to merge several world hearts as well! I started by combining five peak world hearts, which finally evolved into the King's Domain!"

Enlightenment dawned on Li Hao, realizing that his present setup optimized his combat prowess to the utmost.

In the days ahead, as he delves into the Emperor Road with multiple world hearts, he could choose to merge them and forge the King's Domain!
