Follow the path of Dao from infancy Chapter 1844 Chapter 488: Infinite Third Level, Ultimate Test

Luo Ningshuang shifted her focus away from the young man, turning her gaze toward the other prodigies hailing from the Primordial True Realm.

Standing out among them were Xue Consort of the Chaos Ancient Immortal Clan, along with a handful of direct disciples under the Original Immortal Emperor from the Chaos Clan. Back then, they dominated as peak Immortal Lord realm experts, and presently, they've all advanced to the First Level of the Immortal King Realm.

"Right now, it looks like my junior sister Wanyi and I stand unmatched."

Luo Ningshuang mused inwardly.

Reaching the 36th layer signified that her actual battle prowess matched the mid-to-upper reaches of the Fourth Level in the Immortal King Realm!

Crossing three entire realms to still hold her own in combat, and if she concentrated purely on escape, not even a flawless Fourth Level Immortal King could hope to pursue her successfully.

"During our time in the Immortal Lord realm, we weren't the elite. It's all because of the Ancestor Emperor Power..."

Luo Ningshuang reflected silently, realizing that without the Ancestor Emperor Power, they'd only be vying for spots in the twenties alongside the rest.

As they assessed the competition, the others were doing the same to them. Upon spotting their achievement on the 36th floor, faces across the crowd stiffened, and certain gazes sharpened with intensity.

From tales shared by their mentors, they knew of the two disciples of the Chaos Immortal Emperor who had awakened the Ancestor Emperor Power under his guidance, receiving tremendous boosts. It was only in this moment that the sheer gap in their abilities became crystal clear!

"Who would've thought that after their breakthrough and ascension to kingship, they'd outpace so many. At the start, they couldn't even stand against me..."

Xue Consort glanced at the outcomes of Luo Ningshuang and her group, her eyes turning icy as she clenched her fist in silence.

She herself had yet to awaken the Ancestor Emperor Power, though the clan head assured her that persistent cultivation might unlock the Ancient Immortal True Blood, allowing her to close the distance. Still, the timing and certainty of that awakening hinged entirely on fate.

"That individual has shown up, yet he hasn't made his appearance."

Xue Consort swept her eyes over the surroundings, failing to locate the young man's presence, though her master had mentioned he lacked the Ancestor Emperor Power and came from a remarkably humble origin, unaffiliated with any of the Hundred Strong Clans.

Inside the Heaven Tower, the space beyond the 40th layer.

Three Royal Ancient Demons, each at the perfect Fourth Level of the Immortal King Realm, worked in perfect harmony, unleashing their royal family's secret techniques to amplify their immortal power as they encircled Li Hao.

"Such overwhelming might!"

Li Hao's face grew solemn; he had already activated a double realm, or else he'd have fallen in an instant.

"Extreme Dao Chaos, Second Level!"

Within the dual domains, Li Hao unleashed the Extreme Dao Chaos, boosting his True God Blood foundation sixfold—from 3,100 drops up to 18,600 drops—all igniting simultaneously.

The fiercely burning True God Blood glowed with a crimson hue amid the gold, resembling a god engulfed in flames and descending, while the terrifying Divine Soul Control Power erupting from the True God Blood set Li Hao's All Heavens Star Vein ablaze with brilliance, casting forth 108 stellar rays that converged upon him.

"Inverse Chaos Formless!"

Time and space intertwined chaotically; he dove into the rift between them, detached from past, future, or present, entering a unique existence adrift in the flow of space-time.

This was the profound state Li Hao attained by driving his dual domains to their utmost limit, rendering him impervious to strikes as he hovered in a paradox of being and non-being.

Accessing this state demanded pushing realm power to its peak, with the Extreme Dao Chaos performed at minimum to the second level, synchronized with the combustion of True God Blood.

The immense pressure closing in from the three Ancient Demons vanished in a flash; Li Hao sensed his essence merging with their realm while remaining utterly apart from it.

"Slash!"

The Chaos Infinite power, woven from 24 chaos laws, condensed into a single sword beam, infused with the might of two realms, and struck soundlessly from the inverse chaos space-time.

Bam!

The forms of the three Ancient Demons were all struck by the sword's edge at once, their immortal bodies shattering as their primordial spirits faded away.

Primordial spirits of Ancient Demons far exceeded those of the Human Race in resilience; even Immortal King realm Ancient Demons shattered the Primordial Spirit Extreme Realm, refining True God Blood, but a Fourth Level Immortal King's true god blood amounted to just a thousand drops!

Once Li Hao invoked the Extreme Dao Chaos, his True God Blood's potency reached eighteen times theirs!

Through sheer divine soul suppression, this one strike eradicated them completely.

"Pushing realm power to double extremes yields such results—what about triple, quadruple... or stacking even more peak realm powers? Just how formidable would that fabled King's Domain become?!"

Li Hao couldn't suppress his curiosity.

Though he understood that overcoming the 40th floor's Ancient Demons through sheer defiance relied mainly on his teacher's Extreme Dao Chaos—this forbidden technique was far too heaven-defying, enabling the Final Realm to shatter all boundaries.

Absent the Extreme Dao Chaos, even with double realm power, he probably would've topped out at the thirty-fifth floor before exhausting himself.

"You have cleared the 40th floor of the Heaven Tower. Do you wish to press on with the challenge?"

The Heaven Tower's voice resounded from above.

Li Hao drew in a steadying breath. "Continue!"

Up next awaited the Fifth Level of the Immortal King Realm.

"If I burn my longevity here, along with reincarnation, would recovery be possible?"

As the rift in the sky widened, poised to draw him through, Li Hao posed the question abruptly.

His thirteen-stage carving mindset, the Time Blade, allowed him to etch his cultivation using longevity, though it demanded excessive consumption.

The sky, which had fallen silent at first, paused briefly, but then the rift's expansion halted and reversed slightly before the Heaven Tower's voice returned:

"Burn longevity? In the myriad Ten Thousand Clans Secret Techniques, numerous methods of burning longevity allow for restoration. What is yours?"

Li Hao exhaled in relief, aware that as an Immortal Forbidden Emperor Artifact, the Heaven Tower could converse naturally—provided it chose to engage.

"Please examine it, senior."

Li Hao promptly showcased and activated the Time Blade, expending one year of longevity to subtly engrave a trace of cultivation improvement.
