Follow the path of Dao from infancy Chapter 1842 Chapter 487: Preliminary Test Results (Part 2)

"This marks the boundary of a single realm..."
Li Hao pondered inwardly.
...
Atop the Heaven Tower.
A subtle change appeared in the gazes of the Star Empress and the Immortal Immortal Emperor, showing hints of astonishment.
"Extreme Dao Chaos, could this be a follower of the Dao Origin?"
"His aptitude shines brightly, yet his cultivation level remains too modest. The current age isn't his to claim."
The Immortal Immortal Emperor stated with composure.
The Star Empress gave a faint nod, harboring slight sorrow, though just a touch, since she knew the handful of pupils under the Dao Origin Immortal Emperor, each possessing extraordinary gifts. Should those three core inheritors from past times manage to cross the ultimate threshold amid this calamity, their impact on the war's direction could prove immense.
Regarding this particular follower, it was clear he was a recent addition and unfit for this time period.
Existing in a generation not one's own implies that the blessings of this age evade him entirely.
"Ancestor Emperor Power..."
"Such a shame."
Before long, the pair of Immortal Emperors observed that, apart from the youth, multiple silhouettes at the First Level of the Immortal King Realm were swiftly climbing, pushing past the thirtieth floor by force.
"Promising talents, should they advance to the peak of Immortal King Realm, they could vie for True King status, though the real issue is if time permits."
The Star Empress's gaze gleamed with interest.
The Immortal Immortal Emperor gave a mild shake of his head: "Far too green, much like that youth; should they survive the disaster, they'd emerge as the genuine rulers and geniuses of the coming age, yet alas..."
The Star Empress remained silent, yet abruptly, a brilliant silhouette caught her eye, hurrying toward the 70th floor.
That silhouette's cultivation stood merely at the Fourth Level of the Immortal King Realm.
The further the climb, the tougher the challenge, but what truly gripped her focus was how the challenger's Space-Time Dao had climbed to the Ninth Layer, faintly approaching the Tenth!
Provided sufficient might, this person's Space-Time Dao could genuinely unleash the might of the Tenth Layer!
It must be understood, such a stage is one only a flawless Immortal King Realm might grasp!
"This Space-Time method feels so recognizable, ah, it's her..."
The Star Empress's eyes flickered, and shortly after, recognition dawned on her about that form.
To her surprise, after a span of ten thousand years, this one has surfaced again, making a comeback right before the disaster strikes.
...
Within the 31st floor of the Heaven Tower.
Luo Ningshuang fixed her piercing stare on the trio of Fourth Level Immortal King Realm foes ahead. Hesitation absent, she promptly released the Ancestor Emperor Power.
Back on the 25th floor, she had sensed her boundary and employed the Ancestor Emperor Power to breeze through without strain.
At present, her goal was to test the boundaries of the Ancestor Emperor Power alongside her personal fighting prowess.
Bang!
With the Ancestor Emperor Power bursting forth, an immense Emperor's Might surged within her frame.
Immediately, her domain expanded, lunging forward to annihilate the three Ancient Demons.
The three Ancient Demons countered by invoking their royal Bloodline Power, projecting their domains to assail her.
Luo Ningshuang swiftly realized her domain seemed brittle, on the verge of crumbling upon contact with the domains of the three Ancient Demons, akin to parchment clashing against rock, poised for total destruction.
She swiftly channeled Ancestor Emperor Power into her domain, and suddenly, it gained the toughness of an iron coating, effectively repelling the domains from the three Ancient Demons.
Her hand lifted as she launched immortal arts, striking with rapid precision.
Under the oppressive aura of Ancestor Emperor Power, the three Ancient Demons looked sorely pressed against her, yet even so, she required substantial effort to slowly dispatch them one by one.
"Despite wielding Ancestor Emperor Power, pushing to this stage remains so grueling!"
Luo Ningshuang's expression turned somber. She sensed her own threshold drawing near.
"If even I'm struggling this much, I can't help but wonder how far others will go. My junior sister Wanyi must be facing something comparable. Time to see who climbs farther!"
The image of a sister disciple surfaced in her thoughts, while a brief vision of a certain youth was intentionally dismissed.
During the Monarch Realm, she conceded the youth's prowess was utterly daunting, but in the Immortal King Realm now, with Ancestor Emperor Power awakened, she was fated to dominate this stage, outstripping fellow genius Immortal Kings by leaps.
In the end, this represented the deep legacy of an ancient lineage, beyond the reach of fleeting talents to overturn or reshape.
"Kill!"
She pressed onward, diving into the subsequent floor.
At the same time, elsewhere in the 33rd floor.
Li Hao emerged. Moments ago, in the 32nd floor, he had invoked the Extreme Dao Chaos Second Layer, overcoming six Ancient Demons until his domain fully collapsed.
Though he figured Extreme Dao Chaos could still handle the 33rd floor similarly, persisting with the test held little value.
He chose to experiment with the combined might of the Double Realm.
"Formless, Reverse Time!"
Suddenly, dual realms of force manifested around Li Hao at once.
The Formless force rendered him into void, devoid of shape or way, as Reverse Time shifted him into an alternate space-time.
These twin forces merged, flooding Li Hao with a rush of potent vigor across his entire being.
However, such forces drained immense immortal power, prompting him to engage the Extreme Dao Chaos First Layer, igniting all his True God Blood to generate a commanding essence from 9300 drops of True God Blood.
The All Heavens Star Vein morphed into 108 beams of radiance linking to him, while the torrent of immortal power propelled the Double Realm force to its utmost.
"Reverse Time Formless!"
In the Double Realm fusion, the pair of forces blended seamlessly, embedding space-time within the formless, and every facet inside space-time!
Right away, his domain brimmed with myriad illusions of every facet.
Past, present, future—each space-time overflowed with facets.
All illusions simultaneously deployed Chaos Infinite swordsmanship, unifying Sword Dao, and in a blink, they razed the 12 Ancient Demons, slaying them on the spot!
"Double Realm, it truly holds up..."
Li Hao stood amazed, joy lighting up his eyes.
The Double Realm endured the Fourth Level domains of those 12 Ancient Demons, and with the fearsome command of True God Blood added, he could keep charging ahead!
