Follow the path of Dao from infancy Chapter 1841 Chapter 487: Preliminary Test Results
Previously on Follow the path of Dao from infancy...
A massive hand of dread Control Force stretched skyward, abruptly ripping the world's fissure even broader in a flash.
Right away, the immortal energy drawn from the All Heavens Stars shifted from a mere stream into a raging cascade, flooding straight into his form.
Beneath the awesome might of the Control Force, the All Heavens Stars' energy appeared not merely summoned but eagerly pulled forth.
With the immortal energy rushing in, Li Hao's Reverse Time Realm abruptly released a fearsome presence, spreading outward at once, driven by his intent like an icy decree.
"Freeze!"
Immediately, the laws and space-time inside the realm clamped down firmly, as though ensnared by countless strands of immortal energy.
The forms of the three Ancient Demons halted abruptly; their colliding domain, smashing like celestial bodies, got swiftly encircled and infused by Li Hao's realm. The Power of Reverse Time coiled snugly around their domain, locking their forms in place with it!
"Slash!"
The Chaos Infinite Sword Dao lashed out without delay, infused with Reverse Time Realm's might, channeling the reverse time Destiny Sword Qi.
Like a ghostly shadow, the blade's glow flashed by, and the three Ancient Demons' forms ripped open suddenly. As the rips spread, an odd sight appeared; their figures dwindled rapidly, their presence waning, plummeting from Third Level of Immortal King Realm straight to Second Level in a heartbeat!
The intrusion of the Power of Reverse Time forced their forms to regress, their cultivation base tumbling back from its prior height.
Bang!
With their domain weakening, they couldn't endure the reverse time Destiny Sword Qi anymore, getting hacked into three clouds of bloody vapor in a flash before total annihilation.
Li Hao pulled back the raging Control Force from the True God Blood, sensing this power hadn't reached its full potential yet.
Moments later, a sound echoed from the Heaven Tower above.
Without pause, Li Hao decided to press on with the trial.
Layer 22.
On this occasion, Li Hao avoided igniting all the True God Blood right away, instead raising it step by step.
He cleared this floor by consuming a thousand drops of True God Blood.
Then came layers 23, 24... until layer 25, where Li Hao had to ignite three thousand drops of True God Blood.
"With the strength of my True God Blood, reversing two levels is already so arduous."
Li Hao's gaze turned more grave; typical Immortal King Realm experts might not grasp True God Realm at all. Even heirs to Immortal Emperor legacies rarely manage to form a thousand drops of True God Blood.
This implies that, setting aside other abilities, a standard Immortal King Realm First Level could barely hit around layer 22, struggling immensely there.
"Continue!"
Li Hao pressed ahead without halting, dashing higher still.
Luckily, upon conquering each trial and stepping into the following floor, every spent resource got replenished fully.
This kept him in top condition for tackling every layer.
"Extreme Dao Chaos!"
On layer 26, Li Hao unleashed the Absolute Skill Extreme Dao Chaos, handed down directly by his master.
Merely at the initial stage, with its triple amplification, his True God Blood foundation swelled to match nine thousand drops.
The fearsome Control Force surged ahead; in nearly no time, it cleaved every Ancient Demon on layer 26 in two.
Li Hao ascended swiftly and soon hit layer 30 in an instant.
These three Ancient Demons had advanced to the pinnacle of Third Level of Immortal King Realm, each commanding evidently elite realms close to the best, and they all wielded hidden arts from the Ancient Demon King Clan.
The moment he arrived, the three Ancient Demons struck with utmost fury, releasing the bloodline might of the Ancient Demon King Clan. Their clan's essential force burst out, while the Poison Corrosion Clan Ancient Demon's pitch-black toxic domain corroded Li Hao's Reverse Time Realm. Despite the immense Control Force, the Reverse Time Realm resembled flimsy parchment, crumbling under assault and quickly full of breaches.
Li Hao resorted to folding his realm via Control Force, a fighting method picked up in fierce combats.
As the realm kept shifting and creasing, it enclosed the reverse time Destiny Sword Qi, rapidly cutting down the three Ancient Demons.
"Layer thirty, feeling nearly at the limit. Without Extreme Dao Chaos, other Immortal King Realm First Level peaks would probably stop here."
Li Hao breathed heavily a bit, musing inwardly.
With no break, he pushed onward to challenge more.
Layer 31.
The Ancient Demons here had climbed to Fourth Level of Immortal King Realm.
The instant he entered, Li Hao sensed an overwhelming strain, making every hair on him bristle, his realm on the verge of breaking apart.
In truth, his realm held only First Level of Immortal King Realm power; even bolstered by a supreme Realm Heart, it appeared brittle against Fourth Level of Immortal King Realm.
Acting swiftly, Li Hao activated Extreme Dao Chaos outright, releasing his full might.
Yet the moment the three Fourth Level Immortal King Realm Ancient Demons' realms expanded, Li Hao's own felt tossed like foliage in a gale, cracking along lines, on the brink of total failure.
"Kill!"
Li Hao torched the True God Blood; the energy from nine thousand drops morphed into enormous Control Force. Still, even with this boost, his realm wavered like a flame against the breeze, teetering on explosion.
Li Hao was forced to redirect this energy into offense, dropping all protection, squeezing the realm into Sword Qi and thrusting through instantly.
In a flash, the three Ancient Demons dropped.
Yet Li Hao's realm broke as well.
"Almost a mutual destruction..."
Li Hao's face changed; truthfully, surviving such a fight with a broken realm would spell his doom anyway.
Though the Eternal Immortality Final Realm's power could preserve his existence, his realm would drop under Immortal King Realm, his Dao heart fractured, rendering a swift return to King status nearly impossible.
A First Level of Immortal King Realm's domain pushed its boundaries against Fourth Level of Immortal King Realm foes.
Even deploying Extreme Dao Chaos at its third tier, multiplying his base ninefold, and scorching True God Blood up to twenty-one thousand drops, the dread Control Force enabled slaying additional Fourth Level Immortal King Realms but strained his realm unbearably, leading to near-suicidal results.
